FH HES Optimization of Chemical Reactor Feed by Simulations Based on a Kinetic Approach

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

Chemical incidents are typically caused by loss of control, resulting in runaway reactions or process deviations in different stages of the production. In the case of fed-batch reactors, the problem generally encountered is the accumulation of heat. This i ...

Intensification of slow reversible chemical transformation: carboxylation of resorcinol as a case study

Lioubov Kiwi, Charline Berguerand, Anne-Laure Dessimoz

Conjugated kinetic and thermodynamic modeling is suggested as a suitable approach to identify a novel process window (NPW) for the intensification of slow reversible reactions. The aqueous Kolbe-Schmitt synthesis of beta-resorcylic acid is taken as a model ...

Heat Management for Process Intensification of Fast Exothermic Reactions in Microstructured Reactors

Julien Haber

Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...

Kinematics of age mixing in advection-dispersion models

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

This paper investigates age mixing processes arising in advection-dispersion models, where large-scale travel and residence time distributions can be explicitly calculated based on the underlying velocity field. In particular, we analyze spatially integrat ...

Variant and Invariant States for Reaction Systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Models of chemical reactors can be quite complex as they include information regarding the reactions, the transfer of species between phases, the transfer of energy, and the inlet and outlet flows. Furthermore, the effects of the various phenomena are quit ...

Use of Transient Measurements for Real-Time Optimization via Modifier Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François

Real-time optimization (RTO) methods use measurements to offset the effect of uncertainty and drive the plant to optimality. Explicit RTO schemes, which are characterized by solving a static optimization problem repeatedly, typically require multiple itera ...
