Multiple continuous stirred tank reactors VS. Batch reactors — some design considerations

Summary A comparison of the performance of single CSTR and 2-CSTR systems against a stirred batch immobilized enzyme (IME) reactor has been made. When the downtimes in a batch reactor are not too small, the 2-CSTR system may become attractive and therefore a proper consideration should be given to the 2-CSTR system particularly when the application of a plug flow reactor is not practicable.NCL Communication No-2415
