Batch reactor
A batch reactor is used in chemical processes for small scale operation, for testing new processes that have not been fully developed, for the manufacture of expensive products, and for processes that are difficult to convert into continuous operations. The main advantage of a batch reactor is high conversion, which can be obtained by leaving the reactant in the reactor for long periods of time, but it also has the disadvantages of high labor costs per batch and the difficulty of large scale production.
