Advanced design methods for Improved performance of industrial gas-liquid reactors

Deliverables

Creation of a reference set of guidelines for the design of gas-liquid reactors: 1. A general set of guidelines has not been developed yet. However, a large amount of data has been collected, both numerically, using CFD modelling and physical hydrodynamic modelling, as with experiments. The modelling and the experimental results are combined in a single book, divided in parts describing the four reactor types that have been used in the project and some general issues. This book will be published on the Internet in the form of web pages. In this way everybody is able to get the data and use it for their own projects. The book will be available at the AEA Technology website. With this book one can easily find solutions to problems concerning the modelling of gas-liquid reactors. Included is a description of the best way to model a gas-liquid reactor with respect to setting up the problem and getting a fast convergence, to do experiments or to use the data from experiments performed in the project for validation of one’s specific situation. The tool is called the ‘ADMIRE database for gas-liquid reactors’. 2. Development of a design tool consisting of a software package for simulating gas-liquid bubbly flow reactors with mass transfer and chemical reactions in a commercial CFD code. Various physical models for gas-liquid systems were developed and incorporated in a commercial CFD code. By using physical models the CFD code is much more generally applicable. Many detailed technical results are the basis of the general achievements given above. These technical results are given in the various open publications in more detail.
