  • Optimizing a chemical reaction in a plate-type open reactor
    Patent number: 8065038
    Abstract: A method of optimizing a chemical reaction in a plate-type open reactor, the method consisting in: establishing a dynamic model of the reactor for a given reaction on the basis of a model of the reactor and its heat exchanges; applying an integration software tool to the dynamic model in order to solve the above-mentioned equations; determining and optimizing a set of dimension and/or operation parameters of the reactor on the basis of evaluating targets to be achieved, constraints to be complied with, and variable data for the reactor and/or the reaction; building a plate reactor of the said type accordingly to the set of optimized parameters; and doing measurements of physical parameters during the execution of said reaction in the built reactor, for validating its operation.
