Sorbitol Reactor

The sorbitol reactor is the heart of our process. This reactor will take 100,000 metric tons per year and convert it into propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerol as well as several other chemicals that can be sold as merchant products.

Slurry-Phase Reactors
The type of reactor that we have decided to use in this process is known as a slurry-phase reactor. It is contrasted by several other types of reactors such as: trickle bed reactors, continuously-stirred tank reactors ,plug-flow reactors and monolith reactors.

Reactor Design Specifications
The reactor is specified to reach a pressure of 1160.30 psi and a temperature of 428 degrees Farenheit.
