Abstract

Chemical reactors hydrodynamic characterization is a key step in the design of pilot plant and industrial scale reactors. In this work, the residence time distribution and the flow model were determined for a 12 liters annular multiphase reactor. Using pulse input experiments, the residence time distribution (RTD) was determined according to parameters variations of flow, packaging and stirring. Comparing tracer response with the flow models, stirred tanks in series model with n=4 fits the best for the reactor without agitation while the CSTR model is the better for the configuration of an air stirred reactor.
