Computer Simulation of Industrial Low Temperature Shift Reactor for the Purification of Syngas

Computer Simulation of Industrial Low Temperature Shift Reactor for the Purification of Syngas

A heterogneous one dimensional model for the low temperature shift converter is developed taking into consideration interphase as well as intraparticle mass and heat transfer resistances for the catalyst pellet. The model performance is checked against five industrial reactors in two different plant...

Box 800, Riyadh 11421, Saudi Arabia.A heterogneous one dimensional model for the low temperature shift converter is developed taking into consideration interphase as well as intraparticle mass and heat transfer resistances for the catalyst pellet. The model performance is checked against five industrial reactors in two different plants in Saudi Arabia. The agreement between the model results and the industrial results is very good. The model is used in an application program with the necessary data base for the the physico-chemical parameters. The program is equipped with user friendly input screens with the output obtained as tables and graphs. The package is also equipped with the facility to compute the optimal temperature porofile for constrained and unconstrained optimization. The package can be used for simulation, design and optimization as well as training.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1018363918308808
