Reactor Dynamics Investigation Based On Calorimetric Data

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Michal Dabros, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

A simple and general procedure has been developed to determine the thermal behaviour of a reactor based on heat balance, PID temperature control, and jacket behaviour. Using only temperature heating/cooling ramps followed by isothermal stages, such a proce ...

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 ...
