Enhancing performance of a trickle bed reactor at low liquid flowrates
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: The impact of liquid volatility, gas solubility, mass transfer and kinetics-diffusion on the reactor performance at incomplete wetting was observed. Three different reactor zones of prepacking inert section, catalytic bed and post packing inert section were considered. The rate enhancement found under partial wetting was considered using a one-dimensional model that takes into account the effect of gas and liquid flowrates, liquid volatility, gas solubility and kinetic parameters.
