Abstract
Disclosed is a reactor system that contains multiple millireactors, each including a millitube, a first feed line, a second feed line, and a third feed line. Each of the first and second feed lines has a hydraulic damper disposed therein. Also disclosed is a process for conducting in a millitube a triphasic flow reaction that requires a liquid reactant, a gas reactant, and a catalyst.
Claims15
A reactor system comprising multiple millireactors, each of which includes:
- a millitube having a first end, a second end, a first chamber attached to the first end, and a second chamber disposed between the two ends of the millitube;
- a first feed line having a first end for receiving a first liquid, a second end connected in fluid communication to the first chamber, and a first hydraulic damper disposed between the two ends of the first feed line;
- a second feed line having a first end for receiving a second liquid, a second end connected in fluid communication to the first chamber, and a second hydraulic damper disposed between the two ends of the second feed line;
- and
- a third feed line having a first end for receiving a gas and a second end connected in fluid communication to the second chamber,
- whereby the first chamber is capable of receiving both the first and second liquids, and the second chamber is capable of receiving both the gas and a mixture of the first and second liquids.
