Continuous flow reactors are specialized laboratory reactors that continuously flow reagents through a reaction vessel rather than relying on batch processing. There are numerous types of continuous reactors available including tubular reactors, continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR reactors), and plug flow reactors. Continuous flow reactors provide increased safety and reproducibility of reactions with their precise control over reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, and residence time. Continuous reactors also allow for an increase in throughput since their continuous reaction allows for the production of large quantities of product. When comparing continuous reactors be sure to compare flow rates as this can affect residence time and reaction kinetics. Many models of continuous reactors also offer various interfacing options and inline monitoring capabilities with built-in alarms to monitor your reactions.

| 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
