Abstract:
A reactor vessel is provided for saponification processes having reaction times of about 2-5 minutes. The reactants are fed sequentially through a load cell, for weighing, and feeding into a reactor containing water. The reactants are sequentially mixed and reacted by recycling, and at the end of the reaction time, the recycling is terminated and the finished product is pumped to storage. A microprocessor controller may be provided to sequence the feed and amount of reactants and the reaction times. The reactor also may be used to function as a mixer for batch reactions on a semi-continuous basis.
