Ukuqonda okubanzi kwe-reactor kukuba sisikhongozelo esinentshukumo yomzimba okanye yeekhemikhali, kwaye ngoyilo lwesakhiwo kunye noqwalaselo lweparameter yesikhongozeli, inokufikelela kubushushu, ukuphuphuma, ukupholisa, kunye nesantya esisezantsi imisebenzi yokuxuba efunwa yinkqubo. .
Iireactors zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwimimandla efana nepetroleum, imichiza, irabha, izibulali-zinambuzane, iidayi, amayeza kunye nokutya.Ziyimikhumbi yoxinzelelo esetyenziselwa ukugqiba iinkqubo ezifana ne-vulcanization, i-nitrification, i-hydrogenation, i-alkylation, i-polymerization, kunye ne-condensation.
