REDEEM Serpentine Flow Reactor
Overview:
The Serpentine Reactor is a flow reactor designed to operate under plug or slug flow conditions, where fluid elements move at the same velocity through the channel with minimal back-mixing between adjacent layers. When equipped with a window, it enables photochemical reactions, ensuring maximum light penetration.
