Objective
Objectives and content
Many of today's chemical products can only be made because of fundamental advances in the understanding of mixing processes. The new novel products and their manufacturing technology are to be developed based on fundamental know how of factors affecting in mixing sensitive reactions when the process is scaled up from laboratory to full scale production.
The objectives of this project comprises advanced chemical reactor modelling exploiting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and advanced flow patterns measuring technique development for model validation. CFD appears the ideal solution to this problem, but owing its origins outside the process industries it is not currently capable of realistic modelling of chemically complex systems. Additional modules are required for many common processes, of which fast chemical reactions probably have the highest immediate value to industry. These required modules will be developed in this project as well as the validation of the model using commercially important chemical reactors. The generated model will also be exploited in reactor development for two mixing sensitive commercially important reactions.
This project proposal include also a substantial interdisciplinary- scientific contribution connecting chemical and fluid flow phenomena. The numerical part of this project will rely heavily on previous successfully conducted EC RTD programmes in CDF-area.
The main deliverables of the proposed work are the provision of a validated chemical engineering tool, which represent a significant step forward beyond the existing state-of-the-art. Chemical industry will exploit the results in accelerated scale up research and the safe and optimal design of reactors.
The main industrial benefits will be the following :
- Less time consuming and lower cost design due to fewer experiments.
- Cost reduction due to the possibility of a priori determination of the reactor design.
- The achievement of higher yields and improved product quality due to improved process understanding and optimised operation conditions leading to higher selectivities and less waste.
- Environmentally safe reactors due to better control of unwanted side reactions.
- Operation control can be improved with better process control.
