Several issues need to be considered when ordering a reactor?

When ordering a reactor, consider the following factors:

1. **Reactor Volume:** Choose a size suitable for your process requirements.

2. **Reaction Pressure:**

- For normal pressure reactions, a glass reactor is suitable.

- For high-pressure reactions, opt for stainless steel or titanium reactors.

3. **Final Reaction Temperature:** Ensure the reactor can handle the desired temperature.

4. **Reactant Viscosity and pH:**

- Viscosity affects the agitator type and torque required.

- Reactant pH determines the reactor material, as different materials have varying acid and alkali resistance.

5. **Heating Method:**

- Select an appropriate heating method (e.g., electric or liquid heating) based on the required reaction temperature.

6. **Agitator Selection:**

- Match the agitator type and speed to the liquid volume, viscosity, and process requirements.

- Use side-entry agitators for volumes over 500 m³, with a propeller impeller preferred.

- For jacket heating, use an anchor agitator; for coil heating, use a propeller or turbine agitator.
