"AML:FBCR" Fixed Bed Catalyst Reactor Model Library
Fixed-Bed Catalytic Reactors (AML:FBCR)
This is a simulation model of a fixed bed catalytic reactor. It can be used for estimating reaction parameters, estimating catalyst life, cooling design, and operational optimization studies.
Fixed bed catalytic reactors are used for the production of various chemical raw materials, and their applications are wide-ranging. AML:FBCR is characterized by being a basic tool for the automatic estimation of reaction parameters for catalyst pellets in laboratory experiments, which can be scaled up for pilot or actual equipment studies. It is used as a model library on the simulation platform gPROMS ProcessBuilder. Furthermore, it allows for the representation of various units, including reactors, as a single process on one flow sheet, enabling the optimization of the entire plant. By using parameters adjusted based on experimental data in a precise kinetic model expressed by multiple equations and chemical reaction equations, the fundamental idea is to accurately predict the behavior of actual equipment with high model accuracy. Additionally, parameter estimation is also possible in the actual equipment model, expanding its applications such as estimating catalyst degradation.

basic information
The fixed bed multi-tube reactor model library consists of detailed catalyst particle models that consider mass transfer, reaction activity mechanism models, and catalyst layer models that take into account two-dimensional distributions. It can be utilized for laboratory-level reaction analysis models, pilot plant models, and commercial-scale plant models. The main features include: 1. Catalyst models that consider detailed diffusion within catalyst particles 2. Fixed bed catalyst models that account for two-dimensional distributions in the gas flow direction and tube diameter direction 3. Reaction tube models that consider rigorous heat transfer 4. Coupled calculations of CFD analysis for shell-side flow and rigorous reaction tube models for the process side (optional). Furthermore, with a wealth of options, it allows for: 1. Importing physical properties from other simulators (Aspen Plus, PRO-II) 2. Embedding gPROMS models into those flow sheets 3. Coupled calculations with CFD (parallelization support) 4. Passing models to SimuLink and MATLAB for control system design. Additionally, our experienced engineers offer customization services and technology transfer training, enabling the creation of models, reaction data analysis, process design, and optimization to be carried out in a short period.
