“PULSE FLOW REACTION”
Application 121/DEL NP/2005 published 2006-07-14, filed 2005-01-13
A method of operating a multi-phase downflow reactor so as to induce a pulsing flow regime is disclosed. The pulse may be induced by increasing the gas rate (12) while maintaining the Liquid rate until a pressure drop sufficient to induce the pulse flow is achieved. The method is particularly useful in the sulfuric acid catalyzed alkylation of olefins in a reactor packed with a stainless steel/polypropylene mesh (40)..
