Catalytic reaction analysis dual reactor system and a calibration method for correcting non-catalytic effects using the dual reactor system

A catalytic reaction analysis dual reactor system, comprising:

• a gas loop comprising an inert gas source, a feed gas source, a gas feed line, a first reactor feed line and second reactor feed line, wherein the inert gas source and the feed gas source are in fluid communication with the gas feed line and the gas feed line is in fluid communication with the first and second reactor feed lines;
• a first reactor comprising a first catalyst chamber loaded with a catalyst comprising a first catalyst on a first catalyst support, a first reactor inlet on an upstream side of the first catalyst chamber and a first reactor outlet on a downstream side of the first catalyst chamber;
• a second reactor comprising a second catalyst chamber loaded with a second catalyst support, a second reactor inlet on an upstream side of the second catalyst chamber and a second reactor outlet on a downstream side of the second catalyst chamber;
• wherein the first and second catalyst chambers are substantially the same and the particle size and amount of the first catalyst and the second catalyst support are substantially the same;
• a gas analyzer comprising an analysis feed line downstream of and connected to the first and second reactor outlets;
• wherein the first and second reactor are connected in parallel to the gas feed line and the analysis feed line.
