View Full Version : Running Multiple Reactors on 1 Pump?

Is it possible to run a few (2-3) reactors in line with one pump? I realize it will be impossible to adjust the flow for a single reactor.

Or could I just use a T or Y fitting to run several reactors independently, but still with just one pump?

you can try y/t coupling with 1 ball valve to 2 outputs, by controller one output, you indadvertedly control the other output.

Tee off of the pump with a valve before each reactor. I am doing this with a couple of Phosban 150 reactors, you get independent control of the flow in each reactor.

+1 build yourself a manifold. You will need a larger pump since you will have some head loss and you'll be running the reactors independently.
