The RAP4000 consists of four different types of glass reactors with the same volume; a perfectly stirred reactor, a cascade of two perfectly stirred reactors, a plug-flow reactor and a tubular reactor. It allows experimentation on:
- Comparing reaction rate experiments on four different types of reactors
- Determine the chemical conversion rate by conductivity measurement
- Hydrodynamic study of the reactor, such as residence time distribution (RTD) calculation
