Gas Induction Reactors

Gas Induction Reactor offers a radical change from all the conventional approaches, Instead of churning the liquid reaction mass, a hollow agitator pumps gases from the head space to the lowest part of the reactor vessel, A specially designed impeller vigorously disperses these gases into the reactor bottom, resulting in a mixture akin to a boiling liquid, Gas bubbles react with liquid/slurry as they rise; Unreacted gases are re-induced into the liquid.

The Self-aspiration agitator of an Gas-Induction Reactor has a highly efficient design, which leads to the following advantages:

• Vigorous gas mixing

• Through suspension of solid components (e.g., Catalyst)

• Large Gas-Liquid interfacial areas. Interfacial area is 100 to 300m3 of the operating volume

• Enhanced gas-liquid and liquid mass transfer rates

• Very high vessel side heat transfer coefficients, which approach boiling coefficients

• Reduced batch times

• Minimal side reactions

• Excellent batch to batch repeatability.
