A Continuous Reactor is a type of chemical reactor where reactants are continuously fed into the system, and products are continuously removed. This setup allows for a steady-state operation, which can enhance efficiency and productivity in chemical processes. Continuous reactors are commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and food processing. These reactors can take various forms, including stirred tank reactors and plug flow reactors. The continuous operation minimizes downtime and can lead to better control over reaction conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This makes them ideal for large-scale production where consistent quality is essential.
