Description
This Packed Bed Catalytic Reactor is a
bench top unit which is used in demonstration
of chemical reaction in tubular reactors.
This unit consists of:
• Three packed bed reactor columns with heating
jacket
• Feed tank
• Variable speed feed pump
• Hot water circulation system
Experimental capabilities:
• Principle of catalytic packed bed reactors
• Mass balance
• Investigation of steady and unsteady state catalytic
reaction
• Effect of flowrate, temperature and feed
concentration on steady state conversion
• Effect of catalyst particle size on Thiele modulus
and the effectiveness factor
