Parametric Investigation of Industrial Methanators Using the Dusty Gas Model
A parametric investigation is carried out for industrial methanators in order to get a deeper insight into this complex gas-solid catalytic system. The dusty gas model is used to account for internal diffusion. The results of the rigorous simulation model developed are in a good agreement with indus...

| description | A parametric investigation is carried out for industrial methanators in order to get a deeper insight into this complex gas-solid catalytic system. The dusty gas model is used to account for internal diffusion. The results of the rigorous simulation model developed are in a good agreement with industrial plant data. The performance of the industrial methanator is shown to be quite sensitive to change in catalyst pellet size, feed temporature and feed pressure. |
