| Description | Single-phase flow in a tubular reactor can be upward or downward. Two-phase flow can be co-current up-flow, counter-current (liquid down, gas up) or, most commonly, co-current down-flow.
Tubular reactors can have a single wall and be heated with an external furnace or they can be jacketed for Single-phase flow in a tubular reactor can be upward or downward. Two-phase flow can be co-current up-flow, counter-current (liquid down, gas up) or, most commonly, co-current down-flow.
Tubular reactors can have a single wall and be heated with an external furnace or they can be jacketed for heating or cooling with a circulating heat transfer fluid. External furnaces can be rigid, split-tube heaters or be flexible mantle heaters. Tubular reactors are used in a variety of industries: - Petroleum
- Petrochemical
- Polymer
- Pharmaceutical
- Waste Treatment
- Specialty Chemical
- Alternative Energy

With reactor volumes of 5 mL or 10 mL, independent reactor gas filling, PID temperature control, and a choice of two closure styles, the flexibility of the The Series 2500 Micro Batch Reactor System is the smallest of Parr's family of stirred reactors and is available in a number of configurations. With reactor volumes of 5 mL or 10 mL, independent reactor gas filling, PID temperature control, and a choice of two closure styles, the flexibility of the MBS 2500 is sure to bring value to your small volume, high pressure project. Based on the popular Parr MRS 5000, the MBS 2500 offers even smaller volume options, a smaller footprint, a stand-alone control and data logging system, and a lower per reactor price. Features of the Micro Batch System 2500 include: - Three reactors with 5 mL or 10 mL volume, available in stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, titanium, zirconium, and other exotic materials
- Small 10” x 12” (25 cm x 30.5 cm) footprint, with remotely located 4848-based controller for temperature/stirring control and pressure display.
- Standard 3000 psi (207 bar, 200 bar for CE orders) @ 300 °C rating in T316 Stainless Steel
- Trusted Parr seal geometry employing either a captive PTFE flat gasket and screw cap with compression bolts, or a self-sealing O-ring with tool-free screw cap closure
- Standard head fittings to include safety rupture disc, pressure transducer, inlet/vent valve, and internal thermocouple
- 3-valve inlet manifold for control of gas addition
- Common aluminum block heater with PID control
- Individual reactor temperature monitoring
- Individual reactor pressure monitoring
- Common stirring speed via individual PTFE-or Pyrex-encapsulated stir bars

Although they are called “Mini” reactors, they offer a range of sizes large enough to work with significant sample sizes, yet small enough to be handled with ease by all operators. They are made in both fixed head and moveable vessel styles, These are the most popular of all Parr Stirred Reactors. Although they are called “Mini” reactors, they offer a range of sizes large enough to work with significant sample sizes, yet small enough to be handled with ease by all operators. They are made in both fixed head and moveable vessel styles, with a choice of either a self sealing O-ring closure with no cap screws for working temperatures up to 225 °C, or with a flat, PTFE gasket for higher temperatures up to 350 °C sealed with six cap screws in a split-ring cover clamp.
Choosing the high temperature option (HT) boosts the maximum temperature to 500 °C, but de-rates the MAWP to 2000 psi (138 bar). Standard Mini reactors can be converted to high temperature reactors (500 °C max temperature and 2000 psi MAWP) by changing the head openings to cone connections, replacing the valves with high temperature valves, replacing the gasket with a graphoil Flat Gasket, replacing the heater with a ceramic fiber heater, and replacing the split ring. Contact Parr for details.
Although internal and external space is limited in these small vessels, gas entrainment impellers, catalyst baskets, condensers and other options are available. All reactors in this series can also be easily converted from one size to another by simply substituting a longer or shorter cylinder with the corresponding internal fittings and heaters....

This series expands the available volume of our standard offering by more than five times, while retaining the easy-to-use features our customers have come to expect from Parr. Ideally The 8500 Series of stirred reactors, with volumes of 50 L or 100 L, are the largest reactors offered by Parr. This series expands the available volume of our standard offering by more than five times, while retaining the easy-to-use features our customers have come to expect from Parr. Ideally suited for scale up or pilot work, the geometry, features, and operation are very similar to that of smaller Parr reactors, but with a volume intermediate between lab-scale and traditional production scale stirred reactors.
As shown below, the 4848 Reactor Controller with associated 3 zone slave box allows for electric band heater control, or a jacket can be welded on the cylinder exterior for temperature control via circulator.
The base units are available with a 725 psi (50 bar) pressure rating, though higher pressure ratings are available upon request. As with other Parr vessels, these reactors can be constructed of a variety of commercially available corrosion-resistant alloys.
Features - Maximum Pressure (MAWP), 725 psi (50 bar)
- Maximum Temperature, 200 °C
- PID temperature control with ramp and soak programming
- Variable speed motor and gear drive
- Three zoned band heater or welded jacket
- Hoist for reactor head (manual or electric options)
- Bottom drain valve (actuated or manual options)
