Design the reactor that will be used on the proposed technology,

 

a) What is the type of reactor to be used?

     Continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) 

 

b) What is the size of reactor?

 

     V=1.23m^3

      *The full calculation of the sizing of reactor can be download       

 

c) Operating temperature and pressure? 

 

     the optimum temperature of the process will be in                            between50~75 °C and the pressure is 1atm. 

 

d) Does it require any heating/cooling? How do you provide that?

 

     Yes, the process required cooling which the coolant will be              send to surround the reactor for cooling purpose.

 

e) Produce a mechanical drawing of the reactor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

f) Cost of the reactor 

 

    According to Coulson and Richardson (2005) chemical                 engineering design textbook, the capital cost of a CSTR plant is     calculated to be 1.1million USD per year.
