 What is reactor? A chemical reactor is a process equipment where in chemicals are fed in order to make them chemically react with each other for the purpose of making a desired product.  Types of reactor 1. Batch Reactor 2. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (C.S.T.R) 3. Plug Flow Reactor (P.F.R) 4. Semi-Batch Reactor  Batch Reactor A batch reactor is a closed vessel in which reactions happen and it is a non-continuous type of reactor. The reactants are fed in to the reactor all at once initially. The vessel contains an agitator. The purpose of the agitator is to mix the reactants thoroughly so that the contact makes them react together efficiently and produce products.  Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (C.S.T.R) A continuous stirred tank reactor (C.S.T.R) is also often called a mixed flow reactor (M.F.R). In this reactor also the reaction occurs in a closed tank. The tank also has agitator in order to mix the reactants thoroughly. It is different from batch reactor in the sense that the name itself indicates it is continuous type of equipment.  Plug Flow Reactor (P.F.R) A plug flow reactor (P.F.R) is also sometime called a continuous tubular reactor (C.T.R). In an idealized model, the profile of the reaction mixture can be considered to be made up of a number of plugs and each plug having a uniform concentration.

2. WHAT IS REACTOR?
 A chemical reactor is a process equipment where in
chemicals are fed in order to make them chemically
react with each other for the purpose of making a
desired product.

3. TYPES OF REACTOR
 Batch Reactor
 Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (C.S.T.R)
 Plug Flow Reactor (P.F.R)

4. BATCH REACTOR
 A batch reactor is a closed vessel in which
reactions happen and it is a non-continuous
type of reactor. The reactants are fed in to the
reactor all at once initially. The vessel contains
an agitator. The purpose of the agitator is to
mix the reactants thoroughly so that the
contact makes them react together efficiently
and produce products.

5. CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR
 A continuous stirred tank reactor (C.S.T.R) is
also often called a mixed flow reactor (M.F.R). In
this reactor also the reaction occurs in a closed
tank. The tank also has agitator in order to mix
the reactants thoroughly. It is different from
batch reactor in the sense that the name itself
indicates it is continuous type of equipment.

6. PLUG FLOW REACTOR (P.F.R)
 A plug flow reactor (P.F.R) is also sometime
called a continuous tubular reactor (C.T.R). In an
idealized model, the profile of the reaction
mixture can be considered to be made up of a
number of plugs and each plug having a uniform
concentration.
