Which of the following types of reactors is the safest from operation point of view ?
Correct answer: B. A vapor phase reactor
- A. Pot type reactor
- B. A vapor phase reactor
- C. A liquid phase reactor
- D. A liquid phase catalytic reactor
Explanation
A vapor-phase reactor generally has a smaller liquid inventory and avoids hazards associated with boiling, liquid leakage and catalyst slurry handling, making it safer in operation. Pot-type and liquid-phase reactors can also have poorer heat removal and greater runaway risk.
