Presentations
Process Intensification by Model-Based Design and Optimal Operation of Tailor-Made Reactors
Professor Freund gives an overview of the institute's work on model-based design and operation of catalytic reactors for energy- and resource-efficient processes. The focus will be on the methodology of Multi-Level Reactor Design (MLRD). The aim is to use MLRD to find reactor solutions that ensure an optimal ratio/interplay of flexibility, robustness and performance of the future process.

A Comprehensive Approach for Bottleneck Identification in Trickle Bed Reactors for the Liquid Phase Hydrogenation of Viscous Aromatic Derivatives on Egg-Shell Catalysts
The identification of bottlenecks in the real behavior of heterogeneous catalysts in trickle bed reactors is a challenging task. In his presentation at the Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering in Frankfurt, Mr. Held presents a comprehensive methodology from the measurement of kinetic data to reactor simulation.

Dynamically Operated Fixed Bed Reactors for CO2 Methanation: Strategies to Mitigate Catalyst Deactivation
Catalyst deactivation and the associated decrease in conversion and selectivity represent a major challenge in processes with heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. The lecture by Mr. Kellermann presents a methodology how process conditions can be identified with the help of a reaction kinetic approach derived by Mr. Moritz Langer, which avoid catalyst deactivation and thus ensure a long service life of the catalyst.

Model Based Reactor Optimization for a Heterogeneously Catalyzed Fast Highly Endothermal Reaction
Heat transport into the catalyst bed is a major challenge when optimizing reactors for heterogeneously catalyzed fast endothermic sliding weight reactions. Ms. Zallmann will present her results on the experimental determination of the reaction kinetics and the subsequent modeling of the industrial reactor. Furthermore, she will present first optimization approaches of the industrial reactor with packed POCS.
