Assessment of inclined rotating fixed-bed reactors – Modeling and characterization

In this contribution, the process intensification potential of the advanced reactor concept is demonstrated and a hybrid modeling approach is proposed, which allows assessing the STY and identifying optimal operating conditions. The model consists of a 3D Eulerian-Eulerian model and a 1D heterogeneous continuum model to predict hydrodynamics (i.e. gas-liquid interface position and pressure drop), mass transfer and reaction.
