EDUCTOR-BASED REACTOR AND PUMP AROUND LOOPS FOR PRODUCTION OF ACETIC ACID

摘要

Eductor mixers are used to mix the reaction medium in a carbonylation reactor. A portion of the reaction solution withdrawn from the reactor and directed through a pump around loop. The pump around loop is fed back to the reactor through the eductor mixers. In addition, a pump around loop may pass through one or more steam generators and/or heat exchangers.
