HAZOP: PFR (Plug Flow Reactor)
PFR is used to perform the
reaction between NaOH & Sodium Acetate. Tank 1 and pump 1 store and supply NaOH to the reactor. Tank 2 and pump 2 store and supply Sodium Acetate to reactor. Heater is used to maintain the temperature of the reactor HAZOP: PFR (Plug Flow Reactor)
