| Pinching design optimized to provide high mass transfer coefficient at acceptable pressure drop. |
| High heat transfer surface area due to pinching. |
| Scalable to multi-ton production capacity. |
| It is the most economical reactor in terms of cost / unit volume of reactors. |
| Working: Stirred tanks commonly used in the industry are completely back-mixed reactors, meaning the concentration in the reactor is same as the outlet of the reactor-this greatly reduces the reaction rates. Plug flow reactors are an alternative to stirred tanks where the concentration is varied in the axial direction of the reactor. Tubular reactors showcase a plug-flow behaviour but the radial mixing in the tubes is limited. Pinching of tubes is shown to tremendously improve the radial mixing in the tubes. This improves the mass transfer as well as heat transfer coefficients, at the expense of additional pressure drop. Our pinching tube design has been optimized using CFD simulations and extensive experimentation which give best results at an optimal pressure drop. These pinched tube reactors have successfully used in many commercial flow chemistry processes. |
