Method and apparatus for optimizing throughput in a trickle bed reactor

The geometry of the reactor is tailored to increase the heat transfer capacity of the initial sections of the reactor columns where the greatest heat is generated. This is accomplished by reducing the inner diameter of the initial column sections relative to that of the final column sections and by...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The geometry of the reactor is tailored to increase the heat transfer capacity of the initial sections of the reactor columns where the greatest heat is generated. This is accomplished by reducing the inner diameter of the initial column sections relative to that of the final column sections and by increasing the rate of heat transfer from to the coolant proximate the initial column sections by increasing the velocity of coolant surrounding the initial column sections. Further, the coolant flow is directed in a direction perpendicular to the axis of each column by spaced, laterally offset baffles.
