1. Batch Reactors
A reactor in which all the reactants are added together at the beginning of
the process and products removed at the termination of the reaction is called
a batch process. In this process, all the reagents are added at the
commencement and no addition or withdrawal is made while the reaction is
progressing (Fig. 1). Batch processes are suitable for small production and for
processes where a range of different products or grades is to be produced in
the same equipment for example, pigments, dye stuff and polymers.

2. Continuous Reactor
A reactor in which the reactants are fed to the reactor and the products or
byproducts are withdrawn in between while the reaction is still progressing
(Fig. 2). For example, Haber Process for the manufacture of Ammonia.
Continuous production will normally give lower production costs as compared
to batch production, but it faces the limitation of lacking the flexibility of
batch production. Continuous reactors are usually preferred for large scale
production.

3. Semi Batch Reactor
Reactor that do not fit in the definition of batch or a semibatch reactor is
operated with both continuous and batch inputs and outputs and are often
referred to as semi continuous or semibatch. In such semi-batch reactors,
some of the reactants may be added or some of the products withdrawn as
the reaction proceeds. A semi-continuous process can also be one which is
interrupted periodically for some specific purpose, for example, for the
regeneration of catalyst, or for removal of gas for example, a fermentor is
loaded with a batch, which constantly produces carbon dioxide, which has to
be removed continuously. Another example is chlorination of a liquid.
