Industrial Scale Continuous Plug Flow Reactor with Improved Heat Transfer and Mixing Control

结晶化传统上是间歇操作，但出现了产品规格一致的问题，例如尺寸分布、正确的多态形式和形态。因此，已经确定连续流动结晶可以改进生产，并提供包括节省能源和资本成本在内的几个好处；导致许多流动反应器被出售用于实验室用途。然而，由于结晶的脆弱性，它在工业规模上的实施受到了限制。Autichem已经在市场上填补了这一空白，并设计了一种将CSTR和管式技术相结合的连续推流反应器，以改善传热和混合控制。

Crystallisation has traditionally been operated as a batch process, but problems withconsistent product specification arise e.g. size distribution, correct polymorphic form &morphology. Consequently it has been identified that continuous flow crystallisation canimprove manufacture and offer several benefits including energy and capital cost savings;leading to many flow reactors being sold for laboratory use. However due to the vulnerabilityof crystallisation, its implementation at an industrial scale has been restricted. Autichem havenoted this gap in the market and have devised a continuous plug flow reactor that combinesCSTR and tubular technology to improve heat transfer and mixing control.
