The Ejector-Based Liquid Jet Venturi Loop Reactor

4 THE EJECTOR-BASED LIQUID JET VENTURI LOOP REACTOR 

The venturi loop reactor was introduced by Buss ChemTech, Switzerland in 1950. (http // www.buss-cLcom/e/reaction technology/loop-reactor.php navanchoi 2110031 http // www.buss-ct.eom/e/company/publications/reaction technology/BCT Loop Reactor Technology 2009-02.pdf. Accessed Nov., 2011). The company has optimized more than 800 reactions for its customers. Several articles have been published by the company on its technology, which will be referred to frequently in the following sections.
