The main practical reason for using several smaller reactors rather than one large one is often

  • A.simpler control of the system
  • B.easier heat removal and more flexibility
  • C.a lower total capital cost overall
  • D.a smaller total volume for the same duty

Answer: B

Several vessels give more surface area per unit volume and allow one to be taken out for maintenance. The capital cost is usually higher, so the choice rests on the operating advantages. Maintenance can proceed on one vessel at a time.
