When larger sizes are required, the design may include multiple units
of batch reactors arranged in parallel.
In small industrial pilot plants, a batch system may be employed
for preliminary information. Also, batch reactors can be used in these
plants to obtain small quantities of the new product for further evalua-
tions such as purity, yield, and sales. At the industrial level, batch
