MOVING BED REACTOR

Moving bed reactors are catalytic reactors in which the catalyst moves through the reactor along with the reactants.

They are open systems and operate at steady state.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MOVING BED REACTOR

ADVANTAGES
Easy to regenerate catalyst Have plug flow characteristics Low catalyst handling cost High conversion rate Good selectivity

DISADVANTAGES
Flow of solids not easy to maintain Poor heat transfer characteristics Fluid reactant may bypass catalyst bed Solid distribution difficult to maintain Stagnation may occur Attrition, break-up of catalyst pellets due to impact against reactor walls, may occur
