Hydrodynamic Studies on a Trickle Bed Reactor for Foaming Liquids

摘要: Hydrodynamic studies of trickle bed reactors (TBRs) are essential for the design and prediction their performance. The hydrodynamic characteristics involving pressure drop dynamic liquid saturation greatly affected by physical properties liquids. In present study experiments have been carried out in a concurrent downflow air - reactor to investigate water (non-foaming) 3% polyethylene glycol 4% foaming liquids gas continuous regime (GCF) pulsing (FP). GCF was found increase with flow rate non-foaming While solutions severe observed high interaction is referred as (FP) regime. decrease followed sharp rise during transition from FP However regime, dip observed. be manifolds higher compared ©2010 BCREC UNDIP.
