Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do agitators maintain catalyst suspension?

A: Turbine agitators with appropriate tip speeds keep catalyst particles uniformly suspended. We calculate required agitation intensity based on particle size, density, and settling velocity to ensure complete suspension without excessive catalyst attrition.

Q: What temperature uniformity can be achieved?

A: With proper agitation and jacket design, temperature variations of less than 1°C throughout the reactor volume are achievable. This uniformity is critical for selectivity in temperature-sensitive reactions.

Q: How is catalyst separated from product?

A: Options include internal filters, external filtration loops, and settling zones. The separation method depends on catalyst form, product properties, and whether catalyst is recycled or single-use.
