How Does The STTTM Reactor Work?
Advantages: Maximum Mass Transfer Rates • Area rather than volume based operation • Highest possible shear rates • Uniform shear stress throughout the reaction zone • Molecular-sized eddy currents reduce reaction times • No eddy decay gives high surface area renewal rates • Reduction or elimination of unwanted by-products Maximum Heat Transfer Rates • Area rather than volume based operation • Heat transfer film coefficients of up to 10,000 W/ m2 -K or 1,760 BTU/ hr-ft2 -F • Temperature control of +/- 1C • Reduction or elimination of unwanted by-products from wall effects • Extremely small, discrete heating zones are possible Maximum Phase Interaction • Area rather than volume based operation • Immiscible materials rapidly interact • Perfect homogeneity • Ideal for emulsification • Up to 95% solids loading Benefits: Benefits as a Result of the STTTM Geometry • Smaller size reduces plant floor space • Negligible hold-up volume • Continuous operation • Eliminates scale-up issues • Instant
