Reaction Distillation Unit
Integrated reaction distillation unit for simultaneous reaction and separation processes.
Reaction Distillation Unit Overview
The Reaction Distillation Unit integrates reaction and distillation operations in a single continuous setup, allowing for simultaneous synthesis and product purification. This configuration significantly enhances process efficiency and minimizes solvent handling. Constructed from borosilicate glass, PTFE, and stainless steel, the unit provides superior chemical resistance and complete visibility of the reaction and separation stages. Its modular framework allows quick adaptation for various chemical systems and operation under vacuum or atmospheric pressure.
Specifications
• Reactor volume: 5 L – 100 L
• Distillation column diameter: 50 mm – 150 mm
• Temperature range: up to 200 °C
• Pressure: full vacuum to atmospheric
• Material: borosilicate glass 3.3 with PTFE fittings and SS frame
• Configuration: reflux condenser, receiver, and sampling ports
• Optional automation: temperature and pressure control modules The unit adheres to standard pilot-plant norms for multifunctional process assemblies.
Applications
• Esterification, hydrolysis, and transesterification reactions
• Solvent recovery during reaction operations
• Reactive distillation for equilibrium-limited systems
• Process optimization in chemical and pharmaceutical R&D
• Pilot-scale testing of integrated chemical operations
By combining reaction and separation, it provides energy savings, reduced processing time, and improved product yield.
