Continuous Equilibrium Reaction (in a CSTR)

Overview

A Continuous Equilibrium Reaction Procedure (in a CSTR) can be created by selecting the following menu option:
Unit Procedures } Continuous Reaction } Equilibrium (in a CSTR)

	Operating Mode	Continuous or Semi-Continuous
	Host Equipment	Stirred Reactor (CSTR)
	Emissions Port (Vent)	Yes
	Special Input/Output Ports	No

This procedure is used to represent a sequence of continuous reactions that take place in a Stirred Reactor (CSTR) and which are described by stoichiometry and equilibrium equations.

Special Inputs / Outputs

None.

Operations

The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:

●      React (Equilibrium), see Continuous Equilibrium Reaction

●      CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)

●      Hold, see Holding

●      SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)

Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
