What is a Pfr?
Career: Pfr
PFR stands for 'Process Flow Reactor' or 'Plug Flow Reactor,' primarily used in chemical engineering. A PFR is a type of reactor in which the reactants flow through a cylindrical pipe and chemical reactions occur as the materials move along the length of the reactor. The key feature of a PFR is that there is minimal mixing in the direction of flow, leading to a gradient in concentration along the reactor. PFRs are widely used for continuous chemical production and are valued for their efficiency and scalability.
