| Description |
The microscale trickle bed reactor can be used for testing commercial size catalyst, if its inherent
limitations, such as channeling, wall effect, and backmixing, are overcome by diluting the catalyst
bed with a nonporous inert particles of suitable size. The effect of diluent size on the performance
of a microscale trickle bed reactor, catalyst bed height, as well as on operating liquid holdup at
different liquid hourly space velocities, has been studied in the present investigation. The proper
size of diluent, which may be used for testing as low as 5 mL of commercial catalyst in a
microreactor, has been identified experimentally. The results on the hydrodesulfurization of
atmospheric gas oil obtained in the microreactor, using the suitable size of diluent were compared
with the data generated in a bench scale unit. The activation energy calculated from both
microreactor and bench-scale reactor rate data was 21 and 25 kcal/mol, respectively.
