German term

Rektor

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Rektor 14 bis 16
Hi,

I am translating a text (in Austrian German) on the planned expansion of a wet derivatives plant.
In the section on safety, it says 'Als zusätzliche Sicherheitseinrichtung wird analog zum Bestand im Bereich von Rektor 14 bis 16 und Puffer x bis y eine Sauerstoffkonzentrationsmessung im EG und OG installiert.'
I don't understand what Rektor means. I can only think monitoring station or similar. There are no other occurrences in the text.
I would appreciate some help.

Thank you.

German term (edited): Reaktor
Selected

reactor

This is most likely a typo for "(chemical) reactor".

See, for example, https://www.processsensing.com/en-us/industries/monitoring-o...
("Pharmaceuticals and Specialty Chemicals are typically produced in batches by mixing several components in a reactor. These reactors vary in size from table-top glass jars to large stainless steel or glass lined vessels with a mixer (like a giant domestic food blender). The vessel will be subjected to a nitrogen blanket prior to and during batch production so oxygen levels must be monitored at all times for plant and operator safety.")
Note from asker:
Yes, this just occurred to me! It makes perfect sense.
So steht es im Ausgangstext und mir ist es nach meinem Beitrag eingefallen, dass es sich dabei um einen Tippfehler handelt. Ansonsten hätte ich nicht gefragt.
