When you’re working around reactors, your primary responsibility is to make sure that the chemical reactions occur safely and efficiently. In a very real sense, you’re responsible for controlling what goes on inside the reactors. In order to do that, you need to know some basic principles that govern reactor operations. Then, you can apply these principles to any reactor in your plant.
 
This interactive online course focuses on the fundamentals of reactors used in process plants. Specific areas covered include the basic components of a reactor, reactor operation, types of reactors, auxiliary equipment associated with reactors, and the operator’s role in reactor operations.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Describe the conditions that affect chemical reactions in a chemical reactor and why it is important to charge a reactor correctly
  • Define endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions
  • Cite examples of basic reactor components and commonly associated auxiliary equipment
  • Explain how to identify batch and continuous stirred tank reactors
  • Describe the general operation of the following reactors: batch stirred tank, continuous stirred tank, fixed-bed, and fluidized, moving-bed
  • Discuss general operator responsibilities associated with reactor system operation
