502125 Multiscale Approach to the Design of a Trickle Bed Reactor

Vaibhav Kelkar1, Sanjeev M. Rao1, Debashis Chakraborty2 and Jorge Jimenez3, (1)SABIC Americas, Sugar Land, TX, (2)SABIC, Houston, TX, (3)SABIC Technology Center, SABIC Americas, Inc., Sugar Land, TX

This talk will discuss the scale-up of a trickle bed reactor for selective liquid phase hydrogenation. Insights from bench scale experiments, cold flow studies, pilot plant testing, and fundamentals based kinetics and reactor modeling are combined to increase the robustness and confidence in commercial reactor design.
