Consider 6-Aminopenicillanic acid was used to produce semi-synthetic penicillin by enzymatic hydrolysis of fermentation-derived penicillin G (Benzylpenicillin). The starting concentration of penicillin G is 10% (w/v), and 99% conversion is required. Enzymatic conversion of penicillin G can be considered a first-order reaction. The downtime between batch reactors is expected to be 20 h. For the batch and CSTR reactors, the reaction rate constant is 0.8 E-04 /s; in the PFTR, the packing density of enzymatic beads can be up to four times greater than in other reactors. Determine the PFTR reactor volume required to treat 400 tons of penicillin G per year.
