-
A vessel employed to carry out the desired conversion using an enzyme is called enzyme reactor. Several different types of reactors are available, the choice of a reactor type depending on the form of enzyme (free or immobilized) to be used, kinetics of reaction, etc., and the scale of operation.
The different types of reactors used for enzyme-mediated .conversions are as follows:
(i) stirred tank reactors,
(ii) membrane reactors,
(iii) continuous flow reactors, e.g.,
(a) packed bed reactors,
