Foam Measurement in PVC Suspension Reactors
Organic Chemicals & Plastics 420-19-058 Foam Measurement in PVC Suspension Reactors The technique of polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) to PVC is carried out in a reactor with VCM suspended in water. The typical size of PVC reactors is in the range of 60 to 90 cubic meters with some being as large as 200 cubic meters. The Process: In a typical process the reactor is charged with VCM, water, and catalyst and then heavily agitated. Te
