Chemical Reactor Process Trainer with PLC
Continuous flow reactors are common unit operations in chemical processing plants. They are found throughout the petroleum, petrochemical and numerous other industries. The Chemical Reactor Trainer is a reduced scale plant that demonstrates continuous flow, exothermic chemical reaction.

  • Reactants are hydrocarbon fuel and atmospheric oxygen; products are combustion flue gasses (CO2, CO, H2O and perhaps traces of NOx).
  • The process has instrumentation to provide for reactant flow rate control, product gas analysis, temperature and pressure indication and an interlocking safety system.
  • The entire trainer is controlled from a DCS or PLC computer interface with custom designed software and control configuration.
  • This gives the student the opportunity to gain real operating experience focusing on both the process of exothermic chemical reactions and on control strategy.
