AI reactor-conditions engine · Arrhenius & HAZOP calibrated

Find the optimal reactor recipe in seconds, not pilot runs.

Enter your reaction, feedstock, and target spec. ReactorMind optimizes temperature, pressure, catalyst loading, and residence time for maximum yield — then predicts batch cycle time, energy cost, and runaway risk, grounded in real reaction engineering.

Reactor optimizer

Optimize this reaction

Pick your reaction and reactor on the left. The engine runs real reaction engineering — Arrhenius kinetics, van’t Hoff equilibrium, selectivity trade-offs, and thermal-stability analysis — and returns a complete reactor recipe.

Set your reaction parameters and optimize.

📈 Reactor temperature & conversion profile

Reactor temperature and cumulative conversion along the reactor. Exothermic hotspots are tracked against the cooling envelope.
Batch cycle time

📉 Yield vs. temperature

Conversion rises with temperature; selectivity falls as side reactions and equilibrium limits set in. The engine places your operating point at the yield optimum within the safe thermal window.

⚖ Operating-strategy comparison

Conservative protects selectivity and runs cool; aggressive pushes conversion and throughput but courts side reactions and runaway. The optimizer’s pick balances both.

⚡ Energy cost optimizer

Specific energy demand at the optimal recipe — heating, reaction-heat removal, compression, and pumping/agitation — priced per kg of product.

Total specific energy

Energy model assumes $0.12/kWh, a 25 °C feed, generic Cp ≈ 2.2 kJ/kg·K, and a refrigeration COP of 3 for heat removal. Estimates are derived from standard reaction-engineering correlations — validate against a heat-and-material balance before commissioning.

🛡 Safety risk scorer — HAZOP radar

Six hazard dimensions scored 0–100 for the optimal recipe. Larger area means higher risk; the runaway badge above summarizes the dominant thermal hazard.

Capabilities

More than a kinetics calculator

A physics-aware optimizer that thinks like your best process engineer — and never forgets a hazard.

Optimal reactor conditions

Temperature, pressure, catalyst loading, and residence time tuned to your exact reaction and reactor type for maximum yield.

📉

Yield & selectivity modeling

Arrhenius kinetics and van’t Hoff equilibrium map conversion and selectivity across temperature to find the true yield optimum.

Batch cycle-time predictor

Charge, heat-up, reaction, cool-down, discharge, and CIP combine into a full batch cycle so you can plan capacity and quote lead times.

Energy cost optimizer

Heating, cooling duty, compression, and pumping resolve into a live specific-energy cost per kg so you can cut utility spend.

🛡

Safety risk scorer

A HAZOP-style radar scores thermal runaway, overpressure, toxicity, and controllability — flagging hazards before the reactor does.

See conservative, optimal, and aggressive recipes side by side and pick the trade-off that fits the campaign.

Under the hood

From chemistry to recipe

Real reaction engineering, wrapped in a one-click workflow.

01 / INPUT

Describe the reaction

Reaction class, reactor type, feed purity, scale, priority, and cooling capacity — the same things you’d hand a process design package.

02 / MODEL

Run the kinetics

Arrhenius rate laws, van’t Hoff equilibrium, and selectivity trade-offs evaluate the full temperature and pressure window.

03 / OPTIMIZE

Balance the goals

The engine trades conversion against selectivity, energy, and runaway margin to find the sweet spot for your plant.

04 / DELIVER

Get the recipe

A complete operating envelope with predicted yield, cycle time, energy cost, and a HAZOP risk profile — ready for the DCS.
