Results for tag: "Fixed Bed Reactor"

The Fixed Bed Reactor is a type of chemical reactor used in the chemical engineering industry. It is a cylindrical vessel with a bed of solid catalyst particles, typically pellets or granules, that are held in place by a grid or other support structure. The reactants are fed into the reactor at the top and flow downward through the bed of catalyst particles. The reaction takes place as the reactants pass through the catalyst bed, and the products are collected at the bottom of the reactor. The fixed bed reactor is used in a variety of chemical processes, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and hydrocracking. The fixed bed reactor market is driven by the increasing demand for chemical products, such as fuels, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. The growing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective chemical processes is also driving the market. Companies in the fixed bed reactor market include BASF, Dow Chemical, ExxonMobil, Shell, and UOP. Show Less Read more
