This unit is equipped with two continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) connected in series and fed by two metering pumps. The study of kinetics is carried out versus the variation of conductivity at the reactor outlet. The automated version is equipped with PID controller for the automatic control of reaction temperature.
