End Point Detection Control In Batch Reactors

End Point Detection Control In Batch Reactors


One way to increase plant productivity is to reduce batch cycle time.
If the reaction continues beyond the optimal endpoint, the process yield can be reduced due to side reactions.
In batch reactors, if the completion of the reaction cannot be reliably detected, it is common practice to terminate reactant flow on the basis of total charge.
In other reactions, the endpoint is accompanied by the fall or rise of the reaction pressure. This change in pressure can be used to have a pressure switch or pressure controller to shut off the reactant flow
