How large should the esterification reactor be in the production process of ethyl acetate?
Thread Content
It is understood that the esterification reactor used in Shanghai Wujing’s 100,000-ton per year production process for ethyl acetate has a capacity of 120 cubic meters. It’s not clear why such a large capacity is necessary; in our estimates, 30 cubic meters would be sufficient! We hope everyone can offer some suggestions!!!

It is necessary to take into account the volume of the steam coil inside, plus a margin
Designing according to one’s own scale should not differ much; they might need to design for expanded production
Now, the installations in Wujing, Shanghai, might not need enamel reactors anymore! Does anyone know the specifics? :handshake
The reactors currently in use are made of stainless steel; the first set was an enamel-lined reactor, which seems to have been removed and replaced
I heard that even the filler is made of acid-resistant metal materials
