This pilot plant concerns the batch reaction; the study of kinetics is carried out versus the variation of conductivity in the reactor. The automated version mod. Pilot Plant is equipped with PID controller for the automatic control of reaction temperature and of the stirrer rpm. This reactor includes a cooling jacket, an electric heater and a distillation column with variable reflux condenser and azeotropic separator.
