How can polyether synthesis reactors be improved?
Thread Content
The polyether synthesis reactors commonly used in laboratories are ordinary batch reactors, while those used in production are Buss-loop reactors. How can we bring the laboratory settings as close as possible to those in large-scale production?
If the requirements are not high, one can modify it oneself; if the requirements are high, those requirements can be provided to the testing equipment manufacturer for custom fabrication.

Loop reactors have a low amplification effect; whatever the scale is in the laboratory, that’s also the scale in the actual reactor. This is the most significant characteristic of loop reactors. In fact, the two most important components of a loop reactor are: first, the Venturi nozzle, which ensures even distribution of bubbles and thorough contact with the liquid material; second, the sensitivity of the pump to the gas content. The best pumps available today can maintain a gas content of around 30%, which serves as a solid guarantee for the reliable operation of loop reactors. Simple loop cycles are used in many devices; however, a mere cycle is not considered a loop reactor, as it fails to achieve effective mass and heat transfer, which is the key aspect in the design of loop reactors.

Is your company’s current large-scale equipment using bus-connected loop reactors? The simplest way is to buy a set of pilot testing equipment.
