    A trickle bed reactor is a chemical reactor that uses the downward movement of a liquid and downward or upward movement of gas over a packed bed of catalyst particles. It is commonly used for liquid-phase hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, and hydrodenitrogenation reactions in refineries. A trickle bed reactor consists of a tubular tank with a packed bed supported by a sieve plate, and inlets and outlets for liquid and gas streams. The hydrodynamics in the reactor are complex despite its simple design.

    TRICKLE BED

    REACTOR

    INTRODUCTION

    A trickle-bed reactor (TBR) is a chemical reactor that uses the


    downward movement of a liquid and the downward (co-current)
    or upward (counter-current) movement of gas over a packed bed
    of (catalyst) particles.
    It is considered to be the simplest reactor type for performing
    catalytic reactions where a gas and liquid (normally both
    reagents) are present in the reactor and accordingly it is
    extensively used in processing plants.
    Typical examples are liquid-
    phase hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization,
    and hydrodenitrogenation in refineries (three phase hydrotreater)
    and oxidation of harmful chemical compounds in wastewater
    streams or of cumene in the cumene process.
    Alsoin the treatment of waste water trickle bed reactors are used
    where the required biomass resides on the packed bed surface.

    Kinetics
    Although the physical reactor is relatively simple,
    the hydrodynamics in the reactor are extremely complex. It is
    for this reason that TBRs have been extensively studied over the
    past five decades and currently the amount of open literature
    publications on TBRs is increasing, hinting that the
    understanding of the hydrodynamics is still limited.
    A good introduction to the hydrodynamics of TBR can be found
    in the classic article by Satterfield.[Rate of reaction and mass
    transfer equations are derived by Fogler.
    EQUIPMENT DESIGN

     A typical trickle bed reactor consists of a tubular tank with a


    sieve plate or wire mesh near its bottom to support the packed
    bed, and inlets and outlets for the liquid stream at the top and
    bottom of the reactor, respectively. The gas inlet can be located
    at the top or bottom, depending on the process, with the outlet
    located at the opposite end. A bubble cap, sieve plate
    distributor, or fine layer of non-reacting particles are placed at
    the top of the bed to ensure  a uniform liquid distribution
    throughout the bed.
     A large factor in the overall performance of a trickle bed
    reactor is the type of  packed bed used. The configuration of
    the bed, whether it be random packing or structured packing,
    as well as the shape of packing used, affect properties such
    as pressure drop and the catalyst coating area.
     The animation below shows the basic operation of a trickle
    bed reactor, which contains a fixed bed of catalyst. Liquid
    reactants (green arrows) and gas phase reactants (yellow
    arrows) continuously enter the reactor and flow through the
    catalyst bed. The liquid and gas reactants react at the
    catalyst, and the products are removed continuously.
     Depending on the application, alternatives to the standard
    trickle bed reactor design might be necessary to attain
    different reactor characteristics. For example:
     Monolith trickle bed reactors use a channeled slab of
    ceramic or metallic material coated in a catalyst layer.
    This design allows for a far lower pressure drop and
    eliminates diffusion as a limiting factor to the reaction.
     Micro-trickle bed reactors use very small characteristic
    length scales to allow better control of reaction parameters
    and enhance process safety.
    Advantages
     Can be used for three - phase reactions
     Lower total energy consumption since solids are stagnant, not
    suspended in slurry
     Simple to operate under high temperatures and pressures

     Lower catalyst attrition


    Disadvantages
     Hot spots may develop due to solvent evaporation
     Channeling may occur, leading to inefficiencies

     Difficult to control vessel parameters

     Lower performance when liquid not uniformly distributed

     Difficult to scale up due to dependence on fluid dynamics of
