The CorFLO™ is a passive mixing device, i.e., the energy for mixing and enhanced heat transfer is drawn from the kinetic head of the flowing fluid itself. It consists of a number of corrugated tubes, each with kinetics-type static mixers inserted. These give unparalleled mixing and heat transfer even at low flow rates and very narrow residence time distributions. These are excellent for reactions including nitrations, ozonolysis, etc. In addition, they are particularly suitable for reactions requiring tight control over residence time, such as polymerizations and nucleophilic substitutions by amino groups.
