Material

• Stainless Steel: Typically made from stainless steel grades such as 316 or 304, which offer high resistance to corrosion and chemical attack. These materials are ideal for processes involving reactive or corrosive substances.

Construction

• Tank: The main body of the reactor, designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
• Lid/Cover: Sealed tightly to prevent leakage and contamination. Often equipped with ports for adding materials or sampling.
• Agitator/Mixer: Provides mechanical stirring or mixing of the contents to ensure uniform reaction conditions.

Temperature and Pressure Control

• Heating/Cooling Jackets: External or internal jackets that allow for precise temperature control by circulating heating or cooling fluids.
• Pressure Relief Valve: Ensures safety by releasing excess pressure to prevent over-pressurization.
• Temperature Sensors: Monitors the internal temperature of the reactor for precise control.

Instrumentation and Controls

• Control Panel: Includes digital controls for temperature, pressure, and stirring speed. Often comes with programmable settings for automated processes.
• Sensors: Various sensors for monitoring temperature, pressure, and sometimes pH or concentration.

Sealing and Safety Features

• Seals/Gaskets: High-quality seals or gaskets to ensure the reactor is airtight and prevents leakage.
• Safety Interlocks: Systems that prevent operation under unsafe conditions.

Ports and Connections

• Inlet/Outlet Ports: For adding reactants, removing samples, and draining products.
• Sampling Ports: Allow for periodic sampling of the reaction mixture without opening the reactor.
