The Batch Stirred Tank Reactor (Stand Alone) ReaktiLabX - 18 operates as a self-contained unit for studying batch reactor behavior. This Batch Stirred Tank Reactor (Stand Alone) features a glass reactor with adjustable volume from 1500 to 1950mL, three stirrers, and a stainless steel chambered bottom for isothermal heat exchange. It preheats reactants before delivery and tracks conversion using a combined conductivity and temperature sensor. Optional DAQ software enables measurement and calculation of results.

Construction and Design
The Batch Stirred Tank Reactor (Stand Alone) ReaktiLabX - 18 uses a reactor 110mm in outer diameter, 100mm in inside diameter, 250mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass, with an adjustable volume of 1500 to 1950mL. Three stirrers, operating at approximately 300minâťÂš, ensure a homogenous mixture and extend reactant contact time. The reactor's chambered bottom, made of stainless steel, acts as a heat exchanger for isothermal operation, studying temperature effects on the reaction. The reactor is secured to the unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Two peristaltic pumps, each with a maximum flow rate of approximately 500mL/min, deliver reactants, while a separate peristaltic pump handles product delivery at the same flow rate. A water pump, rated 10L/min max. flow, 10m max. head, and 120W power consumption, works with a 3000W heater for temperature regulation. Tanks include two 3L reactant tanks, a 5L product tank, and an 8L heating water tank. Reactants are preheated at the beginning of the unit before delivery into the reactor. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion, with values digitally shown on the unit's control cabinet.
