REACTION APPARATUS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS THEREFOR

摘要

A chemical reactor apparatus (210) especially, but not exclusively in relation to producing a flow of polymers comprises test means (240) adapted in use to test a reaction product, or for testing an intermediate reaction product, reaction condition means (216, 252) adapted in use to detect one or more reaction conditions, and control means (212) adapted in use to control at least one reaction input parameter, in which in use the reaction condition means (216, 252) provides to the control means (212) a signal indicative of at least one reaction condition, and the test means (240) provides the control means (212) with a second signal indicative of a property of the reaction product being produced, and in which the control means (212) utilises both the first and the second signals in controlling the reaction input parameter.
