Catalytic Hydrogenation Reactor

  • The Catalytic Hydrogenation Reactor is a gas induction pressure reactor for three-phase slurry hydrogenation, in which the solid catalyst is carried in the slurry phase and hydrogen is present as gas bubbles. Because the reaction proceeds across several phase boundaries, mass transfer, and especially the dispersion of hydrogen, is the governing factor, and the mixing system in the reactor strongly influences the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient. The family spans 100 mL to 40 m³ with design pressures of 20 to 120 bar and design temperatures up to 350 °C.

    How it works

    A gas induction stirrer disperses hydrogen into the slurry. The stirrer is driven through a non-leakage magnetic coupling, so there is no shaft seal exposed to the process and no hydrogen loss at the drive. Internal heating or cooling coils, of tube type or spiral form, a gas distributor, spargers and baffles are fitted inside the vessel as the process requires. The reactor combines three elements: gas induction technology, the non-leakage magnetic coupling drive, and the design and fabrication of the high pressure equipment itself.

    The pressure vessel is designed with a full jacket, half-pipe jacket or dimpled jacket and a semi-elliptical, dished, hemispherical or flat head. Wetted materials are SS304, SS316 or C276 cladding; explosive clad steel is used for corrosive high pressure conditions. Certification options listed for the family are GB, ASME U stamp, ISO and PED; the applicable code is confirmed per project.
