REACTOR TEST RIG
MODEL: BP 140
THE Reactor Test Rig (Model: BP 140) is a floor standing pilot-plant for students demonstration on the
difference in operating behaviour of various types of reactor (Continous stirred-tank reactor, continuous
stirred-tank reactor in series and plug flow reactor) using a simple reaction (saponification of ethyl
acetate with caustic soda) by comparing the experimental
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITES
The typical problems are based on the saponification
of ethyl acetate with caustic soda.
♦ Experimental determination of the ester
decomposition with continuously operated
saponification for all three reactor types.
Comparison with the calculated figures.
♦ Calculation and experimental determination of the
“warming-up time” for the stirred vessel and the
cascade (90% of the static figure).
♦ Determination of the residence time spectrum and
totals curve for all three reactor types.
