Process characterization of expanded-bed reactors in series

A process model describing the performance of a resid hydrotreater has been developed using lumped first-order kinetic equations solved for three back-mixed reactors in series. The model has been tested against pilot-plant and commercial data and found to give a good representation of the measuremen...
