FAQ – Chemical Reactors

Q1: What is a Reactor?

A chemical reactor is a system designed to perform controlled chemical reactions efficiently in industrial production, ensuring process control, high reaction efficiency, and safe operation.

Q2: How Does a Reactor Work?

Raw materials are combined, and heating, cooling, and mixing are applied to achieve desired reactions. Heat transfer is via jacketed systems, coils, or external exchangers. Mass transfer uses impellers, turbines, or magnetic stirrers; diffusers may be used for gas-liquid reactions.

Q3: What is a Chemical Reactor Used For?

• Industrial chemical production (polymers, specialty chemicals, alkyds, PVA, etc.)
• Pharmaceutical formulations and R&D
• Food and beverage processing
• Catalyst testing and process scale-up

Q4: What Materials are Used in Atommek Reactors?

• Stainless steel alloys (AISI 304, 316, 316L, 316Ti)
• Glass-lined steel for corrosive reactions

Q5: How are Heat and Mass Transfer Achieved?

• Heat: Jacketed systems, internal coils, external heat exchangers, temperature-controlled fluids
• Mass: Impellers, turbines, magnetic stirrers, diffusers for gas-liquid reactions

Q6: What Factors Affect Reactor Pricing?

• Reactor type, capacity, material, heating/cooling system, pressure rating, automation, imported vs. domestic production

Q7: Are Atommek Reactors Compliant with Safety Standards?

Yes, designed according to international standards (GMP, ATEX) with optional speed control, load cell weighing, and mechanical seal options.
