Dynamic simulation of a compact sorption-enhanced water-gas shift reactor

Water-Gas Shift Membrane Reactor Studies

Approach • Complete reverse kinetics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to optimize reactor geometry for forward reactions • Measure forward kinetics in quartz & Inconel reactors to determine reactor wall catalysis • Measure forward kinetics in reactor packed with membrane material to determine catalytic activity • Measure membrane H2 permeability in presence of clean syngas compon...

CFD based optimization of Water Gas Shift Membrane Reactor

In the Hydrogen based economy, distributed power generation systems using fuel cell technology require modularity. This modularity in power generation can be achieved by process intensification of the equipments involved. The water gas shift reaction is an integral part of hydrocarbon based Hydrogen generation and the reaction is kinetically limited and hence occupies the largest volume. Proces...

Modeling and Simulation of Water Gas Shift Reactor: An Industrial Case

Title : SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURE - SWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS

Title: SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURESWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS Heather Jane St. Pierre, Master of Science, 2005 Directed By: Professor Timothy A. Barbari Department of Chemical Engineering A transport model was developed to simulate a dynamic pressure-swing sorption process that separates binary gas mixtures using a packed bed of non-porous spherical polymer particles. The model was solved...

Dynamic simulation of sorption enhanced reaction processes for biodiesel production

The objective of this work was to establish fixed bed sorption enhanced reactors (SER) and simulated moving bed reactors (SMBR) for the production of high purity biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) using esterification reactions between fatty acids (FA) in used oils and methanol. This study has demonstrated that these processes have tremendous potential in terms of overcoming the low conv...
