CSTR (Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor)

A Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) is a type of chemical reactor where ingredients are continuously added, mixed thoroughly, and products are simultaneously removed. Its design ensures uniform composition and temperature throughout the tank, facilitating consistent chemical reactions. Commonly used in industrial processes like manufacturing chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, CSTRs allow precise control over reaction conditions, enabling efficient and steady production. The key features are continuous input/output and effective mixing, making it suitable for reactions that need to be maintained at specific conditions over time.
