LCTR® Reactor is made up with two cylinders, inside and outside, and the solution to be reacted is fed into the space between the inside and the outside cylinder through the feeding ports.
As soon as the inside cylinder is rotated by the motor, the solution is also starting to move and then forming a strong stream in the direction of rotation.
Simultaneously, two forces of Centrifugal and Coriolis are generated so strongly that the solution in the reactor moves fast for the outside cylinder.
The faster the inside cylinder is rotated, The more unstable the flow comes to be.
By this phenomena, the eddy current flow is created regularly in the shape of the double rings each of which is self-rotated in the opposite direction, along the rotated inside cylinder. It is shaped like a band in the reactor.
This means a Taylor flow.


When the Taylor number (Ta) exceeds a critical value, Taylor Vortix appear, which correlates with the Reynolds number (Re) and the shape factor (d/R1) of the reactor. Laminar utilizes proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate various influencing factors and derive optimal process parameters as a reference for process condition optimization. This accelerates the provision of equipment and process solutions tailored to different requirements such as materials, chemical reactions, and production capacity.




Hybrid reactor: Batch + Tubular
The development of a ideal chemical reactor functioning the continuous manufacturing system for high purity materials by utilizing fully the advantages of both Batch (easy to operate, the use of mixer, easy to check in operation) and Tubular (high purity production, high reproducibility, east to produce nano-materials)




Advantage:

Continuous production	High-quality and high-purity materials
Possible to produce the volume same as you inject under the continuous production system	Possible to reduce the formation of impurity due to that there is no any dead-zones in the reactor as an ideal fluid flow

Time reduction	Cost reduction
Possible to shorten the reaction time by one third, due to 7 times stronger mixing force and 3 times faster mass transfer velocity	Over 40% energy savings than CSTR
