The influence of catalyst flow rate and superficial gas velocity on the modified two-phase model for propylene polymerization in a gas-phase fluidized bed reactor
Olefin polymerization, especially of propylene in gas-phase fluidized bed reactors, is increasingly prevalent because of its ability to handle the continuous process, among other advantages. The challenge for modelling this process is solving the high nonlinearity phenomena in such a system. This re...

Olefin polymerization, especially of propylene in gas-phase fluidized bed reactors, is increasingly prevalent because of its ability to handle the continuous process, among other advantages. The challenge for modelling this process is solving the high nonlinearity phenomena in such a system. This research studies the influence of catalyst flow rate and superficial gas velocity on the modified two-phase model. The catalyst flow rates were set at 1 x 10(-4), 2 x 10(-4), and 3 x 10(-4) kg/s, while the superficial flow rates were set at 0.35, 0.5, and 0.65 m/s. Production rate, reactor temperature, and heat-loss flow rate were found to be proportional to catalyst flow rate and inversely proportional to superficial gas velocity. Heat loss through the fluidized bed wall had an influence only on the reactor temperature. Finally, predicted reactor temperatures corresponded closely to the pilot plant data, with deviations smaller than 0.5%. |
