PFTR Fixed Bed Catalyst in Tube or Vessel Adiabatic

Related to empty single tube. Section 6.5 or transfer line, Section 6.7. [Pg.229]

Suitable for fast, gas or liquid homogeneous, exothermic reactions. This provides narrow residence time distributions, and a large heat transfer area. Multistaging is possible. Static mixers can be used if viscosity is high. [Pg.229]

Size on residence time and heat transfer area. Section 3.3. Shell and tube exchanger with reactants inside the tube, 250-400 nf/rrf. Tube diameter 50 mm. The smaller the diameter of the tubes, the larger the surface area from the tubes. [Pg.229]

PFTR Fixed Bed Catalyst in Tube or Vessel Adiabatic [Pg.229]

Phases Gas, liquid, gas-liquid interacting with solid catalyst or inert solid. Use if the order of the reaction is positive and 95 % conversion is the target, and for consecutive reactions with an intermediate as the target product. Caution use for highly exothermic reactions. Not suitable for Arr (ATad ) 10 or 100 °C usually keep AT j 50 °C. Provides large gas throughput. Related topics for GL, trickle reactor. Section 6.17, or bubble reactor. Section 6.13. [Pg.229]
