Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for controlling a temperature within a reactor vessel such as an autoclave operating at elevated temperature and pressure. The apparatus includes a preheating vessel for preheating a feed material such as an aqueous slurry. The preheating vessel forms part of a preheating control system providing the primary means of temperature control within the reactor vessel. The apparatus also comprises secondary means for heating and cooling the reactor. Feed material temperature is increased or decreased by the preheating control system, based on the reactor temperature. Where the preheating control system is at or near its capacity for heating or cooling, the secondary heating or cooling means is activated to bring the reactor temperature within an optimum range.
