QRPC Reator de Fluxo Pistão para QRC, Controlado por Computador (PC)

The Computer Controlled Plug Flow Reactor for QRC, "QRPC", designed by EDIBON, allows studying and investigating the kinetics of reactions and flow behavior in chemical systems. A plug flow reactor is a type of tubular reactor that assumes the assumption of no axial mixing of components along its length.

This type of reactor requires the application of a series of specific formulas over a volume differential instead of over the total volume, as is the case with perfectly mixed reactors.

This reactor enables the determination of key kinetic equations, such as the basic hydrolysis of ethyl acetate, which is fundamental for the design and optimization of industrial processes. It facilitates comparative analysis between theoretical and experimental conversion values, enhancing understanding of chemical processes.

Additionally, it examines the effect of flow rate and feed concentration on reaction efficiency and selectivity. Its ability to investigate the influence of temperature on laminar flow characterization is essential for optimizing chemical processes under variable conditions. Furthermore, it studies the reactor’s response to disturbances, such as pulses and step changes, providing vital information for the design and control of industrial chemical processes.

In summary, the piston flow reactor enables a wide range of practices and experiments, making it an invaluable tool for researchers, educators, and industry professionals seeking to understand and optimize complex chemical processes.

To work with this reactor, the Base and Service Unit, "QUSC", is required, which supplies the necessary reagents and thermostatic water for proper operation.

These Computer Controlled Units are supplied with EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
