Introduction
Continuous and steady state process

Advantages Disadvantages
Low residence time(10-15 minutes) Only BHET oligomers are obtained
Better mixing High operating conditions
required is low Re-polymerization of BHET oligomer to get
monomer

Why cascade of continuous stirred tank reactors(CSTRs)?
High pressure drop and maximum conversion of the reactant is not suitable in the de-polymerization.

considering, heat loss by vapour = heat gain by water
Tube material:-
Stainless steel, if water is used as cold fluid.
Fluid is non-corrosive and if temp< 450 °C, carbon steel is cheaper option.
