Reactors

An engineering module for modeling reactors of different types and designs – accounting for chemical reaction mechanisms, kinetics, heat and mass transfer

Reactor types and designs

Plug-flow reactors (PFR), continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) and batch reactors – tubular, vessel-type and other reactor configurations

Reaction mechanisms and kinetics

Different reaction networks and rate laws, including those for catalytic processes and pyrolysis

Refinery conversion and treating reactors

Reactor models for hydrotreating, hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, reforming, isomerization and other processes, accounting for feedstock properties, kinetics and operating conditions

Operating conditions and product yields

Prediction of conversion, selectivity and product yields, including assessment of the effects of feed composition, residence time and thermal conditions
