C08N – Performance of Technical Reactors in Dynamic Operation

The objective of this project is the transfer of lab-scale knowledge into real-world applications. For this, different reactor systems will be operated with complex realistic gas mixtures and under highly dynamic conditions. Simultaneously spatially resolved gas-phase species and temperature profiles inside the catalyst are obtained by the SpaciPro technique. Such insights can be used to develop optimized operation strategies for technical reactors, which exploit the formation of different reaction zones along the catalyst bed and hereby maximize product selectivity and catalytic activity.
