The models used to describe fixed bed catalytic reactors are classified in two broad categories: pseudo-homogeneous and heterogeneous models. In the former the conditions on the catalyst are considered to equal those in the fluid phase; in the latter this restriction is removed. The pseudo-homogeneous category contains the ideal one-dimensional model, the one-dimensional model with effective .
This is related to the active volume in the reactor by whatever physical configuration of the catalyst is employed - i.e., fixed bed, slurry phase, etc. Again, the equations developed have been based on isothermal operation of the reactors. Non-isothermal operation would necessitate a simultaneous solution of both the energy and mass balances.
The isothermal reactor is a fixed bed reactor with indirect heat exchange that is suitable for both endothermic and exothermic catalytic reactions. This reactor provides the benefits of a tube reactor while simultaneously avoiding the heat tension problems of a straight tube reactor. The results are higher outputs, a longer catalyst lifetime .
For batch reactors, conversion is a function of time whereas for flow reactors at steady state it is a functionofvolume 2.2.2 CSTRDesignEquation Using the expression for the volume of a given CSTR derived earlier, we can eliminate F A by using theconversionofF A0 suchthatthedesignequationis V = .
Fixed-bed reactors with an integrated heat supply or removal are discussed in Chapter 4. Fixed-bed reactors for industrial syntheses are generally operated in a stationary mode (i.e., under constant operating conditions) over prolonged production runs, and design therefore concentrates on achieving an optimum stationary operation.
Nov 07, 2013 · The isothermal single fixed bed reactor has a slightly lower conversion at the reactor exit, i.e., 94%. A conversion amounting to 96% is already obtained halfway the catalyst bed in the single bed adiabatic reactor, but is accompanied with a temperature increase exceeding 100 K, which may

Fixed bed catalytic reactors or packed bed reactor systems, also known as FBR systems, include tubular reactors with uni-directional (upward OR downward) or multi-directional (both upward and downward) flow. . The reactor and feed lines are mounted within an isothermal oven. System Specifications: Reactor volume: 5-50 ml; System pressure .
Several aspects of quenching in fixed-bed hydroprocessing reactors have been reviewed. Examples of processes using hydrogen and liquids as quench fluids are described, and the effects of each quench fluid on the reaction system are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach on the product quality and process configuration are also highlighted.
