HITEK REACTOR PFR (HTR)

[CONTINOUS INLINE MIXER-REACTOR]

In a chemical industry when a highly Exothermic / Explosive

Reaction is to be carried out by conventional way, the safety of the
equipment is always in jeopardy, as the conventional Heat
Exchanger can provide the Contact Area for heat transfer only up to
maximum 60 m2/m3. Many times this is very much less than the
desired area for efficient transfer of heat. Inefficient heat transfer
forces the “running over” of the reaction resulting in the explosion
of the equipment. Also the instrumental control over this reaction
was quite difficult due to delay response feedback. All these
shortcomings have been overcome by introduction of HITEKTM
Inline Continuous Reactor (HTR) which has radically changed the
scenario of Reaction Engineering.

Our Rufouz Hitek Reactor PFR (HTR) provides the optimal solution for tackling
problems relating to sensitivity of products to temperature levels. Processes
involving transfer of heat can be problematic if the products are particularly
sensitive to temperature. There are a number of products which, under the
influence of temperature, can change characteristics in an undesirable manner.
Such products are found particularly in the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Agro, Food,
Adhesives and Plastic Industries. Such undesired secondary reaction may differ
from product to product. It could cause discoloration, change taste in food stuffs,
and can cause alterations to essential attributes of the product. The problem leads
to a resultant damage in the product quality. The problem requires a study of the
applied temperature and the time during which the product is under the influence
of the temperature. The process engineering characteristics are closely studied
before designing the HTR.
 RUFOUZ HITEK ENGINEERS PVT. LTD.
Our Rufouz Hitek Reactor comprises a combination of tubular heat exchangers
with static mixer (fixed mixing elements), specially designed and adapted for
specific applications.

We have models combining the two systems- the Tubular Heat Exchanger and the
Inline Industrial Mixer. This integrated equipment offers the advantages of both
systems- no moving parts and thus low maintenance cost, low energy
consumption and assured adaptation to wide ranges of temperature and pressure.

DESCRIPTION

The RUFOUZ HITEK ENGINEERS Inline Continuous Reactor –Mixer (HTR) is an

apparatus in which mixing, heat exchange, mass transfer and /or reaction
processes take place simultaneously. The Static Mixing elements are made from
tubes intermeshing at right angles. These bring about radial mixing in the product
flow together with a narrow residence time distribution.

A heat transfer fluid flows through the tubes. The mixing elements constitute the
active heat transfer surface. Heat transfer surfaces are so positioned that mixing &
heat transfer becomes complementary to each other. The geometry of heat
transfer is such that radial mixing is possible.

HIGH HEAT TRANSFER CAPACITY:

The High Heat transfer surface area per mixer– reactor unit volume are in the range
of 35 m2/m3 to 400 m2/m3 and due to high heat transfer coefficient brought about
due to high mixing efficient mixing results in high heat transfer per unit volume.

Pressure Drop:

Pressure drop values of 0.5 to 20 PSI are typical for normal operations and up to 30
– 50 PSI for viscous solutions.

Advantages:

1. Both yield and product quality can be improved by comparison with values
obtained using conventional reactors.
2. Power consumption negligible
3. Mixing and uniform heating / cooling for viscous fluids
4. No Moving Parts, hence no maintenance
5. Suitable for viscous & exothermic reactions
6. The heat transfer capacity of the mixing elements exceeds that of the jacket
by a large factor
7. Material of construction is normally Stainless steel, but exotic materials like
Hastelloys, titanium and other metals/alloys can be considered if available.

Applications:

1. To Perform Temperature Controlled Reactions

2. Isothermal performance of endothermic or Exothermic Reactions.
3. Heating or cooling highly viscous media as well as Non-Newtonian Fluids.

Pilot Trials:

1. We provide Pilot trial units for conducting trials at your place.

2. Based on the trials we fine tune the design.
3. Heating or cooling highly viscous media as well as Non-Newtonian Fluids.
