Description
Summary:The modernization of reactor equipment for the industrial process of the sulfuric acid alkylation of iso -butane with olefins has been considered. Classic alkyl gasoline production technology has been improved by applying small reactors with a divergent-convergent configuration that optimizes the hydrodynamic regime in the reaction space. This emulsion process is subjected to theoretical analysis with the substantiation of the proposed contactor design. Industrial tests that confirm the high efficiency of the applied design compared to the functioning industrial sulfuric acid alkylation processes with regard to the reduction of energy consumption and the optimization of the consumption parameters of feedstock components and a catalyst have been described for this technology.
