Description:
This unit is equipped with a tubular reactor thermostated and fed by two gear pumps; the flow rate of reagents is measured by two magnetic flowmeters. The study of kinetics is carried out versus the variation of conductivity at the reactor outlet. The automated version is equipped with PID controller for the automatic control of reaction temperature and of the flow rate of reagents.
