This Tubular Reactor System can be used with its three reactors configured for series or parallel operations.
Tubular reactors are always used in a continuous flow mode with reagents flowing in and products being removed. They can be the simplest of all reactor designs. Tubular reactors are often referred to by other names:
Pipe reactors
Packed-bed reactors
Trickle-bed reactors
Bubble-column reactors
Ebulating-bed reactors
Single-phase flow in a tubular reactor can be upward or downward. Two-phase flow can be co-current up-flow, counter-current (liquid down, gas up) or, most commonly, co-current down-flow.
Tubular reactors can have a single wall and be heated with an external furnace or they can be jacketed for heating or cooling with a circulating heat transfer fluid. External furnaces can be rigid, split-tube heaters or be flexible mantle heaters. Tubular reactors are used in a variety of industries:
Petroleum
Petrochemical
Polymer
Pharmaceutical
Waste Treatment
Specialty Chemical
Alternative Energy
Tubular reactors are used in a variety of applications:
Carbonylation
Dehydrogenation
Hydrogenation
Hydrocracking
Hydroformulation
Oxidative decomposition
Partial oxidation
Polymerization
Reforming
