REACTOR MODELS
REACTOR:
Containers vessels or tanks in which chemical or biological reactions are carried out.
5 principal reactor models:
1. Batch reactor
2. Complete-mix reactor(continuousflow stirred tank reactor),(CFSTR)
3. Plug-flow reactor (PFR) (tubular-flow reactor)
4. Cascade of complete mix reactor (complete mix reactors in series)
5. Packed- bed reactor

2
BATCH REACTORS
The simplest reactor type
Flow is neither entering nor leaving the reactor
The liquid contents are mixed completely and uniformly
Ref: http://www.water-msc.org/e-learning/file.php/40/moddata/scorm/203/Lesson%204_04.htm
Applications:
Used to model very shallow lake where there is at most no flow
Used to estimate reaction coefficients
BOD test
3
COMPLETE-MIX REACTORS
(CFSTR=Continuous-Flow Stirred Tank Reactor)
Fluid particles that enter the reactor are
instantaneously dispersed throughout the reactor
volume
Q, C o Q, C
Fluid particles leave the reactor in proportion to their
statistical population
.C
conc of any material leaving = conc. at any point in the reactor (after steady-state conditions are reached)
dc
= QC o QC rV
dt
No conc. gradient within the system.
Material entering is uniformly dispersed throughout the reactor 4

PLUG FLOW REACTOR-(PFR)

Fluid particles pass through the reactor and are
discharged in the same sequence in which they entered
the reactor.
Each fluid particle remains in the reactor for a time

period equal to the theoretical detention time.
This type of flow is approximated in

long tanks with a high length/width ratio
in which longitudinal dispersion is minimal or absent.
Ref: Tchobanoglous and Scroeder, 1985, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company

Application:
Used to study river systems

5
CASCADE of COMPLETE MIX REACTORS

(Complete Mix Reactor in Series)
n-1 n n+1
is used to model the flow regime that exists between the hydraulic flow patterns
corresponding to the complete and plug flow reactors.
If the series is composed of one reactor complete mix regime prevails
If the series consists of an infinite number plug-low regime prevails

of reactors in series
Application:
In modeling rivers within small increments (segments) 6

PACKED BED REACTORS
These reactors are filled with some type of packing

medium ( e.g.rock, slag, ceramic or plastic)
With respect to flow,

completely filled (anaerobic filter)
intermittently dosed (trickling filter)
When the pore volume of the medium flow is said to be SATURATED

is filled with a liquid
When the pore volume is partially filled flow is said to be UNSATURATED
7
PACKED BED REACTORS (continue)
Application:
Used to study the movement of water and contaminants in groundwater systems.
FLUIDIZED-BED reactors
Packed bed reactors in which the packing medium is expanded by the
upward movement of fluid (air or water) through the bed.
Example: Filter backwashing

Material input may be
non-conservative (reactive)

NOTE
For conservative (non-reactive) material input having Co conc., eff. conc. is initially C (not Co)
due to unsteady state condition.
When steady-state is reached effluent conc. (C) = Co

9
Response of CFSTR to Conservative (non-reactive) Tracer Input
A conservative (non-reactive) material is injected into the input flow of CFSTR on a

continuous basis, beginning at t=0 and resulting in a constant input tracer conc. Determine
the reactor output conc. as a function of time and plot the tracer-output response curve.

EXAMPLE 1: Ref: Tchobanoglous and Scroeder, 1985, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
The river reach shown has been divided into 5 segments based on measured velocities and
depths. An industrial facility is planned just upstream of the 1st segment and it is necessary
to estimate effect of ww discharge. A series of dye experiments have been run and each of
the segments was found to behave as an approximate CFSTR. The pollutant is expected to
disappear according to 1st order reaction. For the data given determine the steady-state
pollutant con. in each segment.

PLUG FLOW REACTORS (PFR)
Are ideally mixed in lateral direction and unmixed longitudinally

Unrealistic assumption for most real-world systems but can be approximated closely
The mean HRT time = true HRT time
An effluent tracer (conservative) signal is exactly the same as the input , expect that is
transposed in time by tR. 24
Tracers (dyes, electrolytes, radioactive isotopes) are used to characterize the degree
of mixing.
must be conservative
does not participate in any reaction
it is not adsorbed or absorbed by reactor or its contents
are assumed to be moved about in the same manner as the water molecules
their flow pattern will mimic have liquid flow pattern.
PF conditions are achieved by

designing long and narrow reactors,
placing baffles in a reactor
25
In a PF situation the mass balance must be taken over an incremental volume because a
longitudinal concentration gradient exists (since there is no longitudinal mixing.
