Continuous Process
Batch Process
In batch processes, reactants are charged
at the beginning of the reaction and
products are removed at the end of
reaction.
Colorants being
produced in a batch
reactor. The top of
the reactor is at floor
level and the rest of
the reactor is
suspended below it.

Continuous Process
In continuous processes, reactants are
charged continuously and products are
also removed continuously while reactions
are going on in reactors.
