This work constitutes the first application of the spatial sampling technique to study a liquid phase reactions. The reaction under study is the (HP-PO) process. A compact profile reactor was used to study the reaction under industrial conditions. Two models from the scientific literature and a new model proposed within this work were used to simulate the experimental data.
A pilot scale reactor with a internal diameter comparable to those in technical scale (HP-PO) reactors was implemented to compare the performance of a bed packed with catalyst extrudates against a bed constituted by additively manufactured open cell structures.
