The BUSS-Loop® Reactor

The BUSS-Loop® Reactor is, since its origin, the icon and the benchmark for superior efficiency in reaction technology. This is due to its elegent design and instrinsic ability to cope with the challenges of reaction engineering, like mass transfer, mixing, heat transfer, catalyst handling, flow chemistry, safety and process intensification towards sustainability. The Buss Loop® reactor basic concept is a system consisting of a reaction autoclave, a circulation pump, a heat exchanger and a reaction mixer (high-performance gas/liquid ejector), designed to achieve high mass transfer rates and homogeneous mixing while safely ensuring the necessary heat duty for the chemical reaction. These key features result in precious benefits: - shorter reaction times - catalyst saving - optimized reaction volume and productivity - constant quality - flexibility both for single product and multipurpose plants - linear scale-up - tailored heat exchange - operability of the headspace gas phase
