Growing population and expanding economies are important causes of increasing global
energy demand. In wake of the continuous hike in the petroleum prices, depleting world …

Renewable hydrogen improves the carbon balance of the methanol synthesis process but
raises the production costs rendering a suitable hydrogen utilization strategy necessary …

Nowadays the exploitation of conventional natural gas resources has been contributing to
the problem of increasing CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere and consequently …

This paper presents a study on optimization of a fixed bed tri-reformer reactor (TR). This
reactor has been used instead of conventional steam reformer (CSR) and auto thermal …

In this work a novel reactor configuration has been proposed for simultaneous methanol
synthesis, cyclohexane dehydrogenation and hydrogen production. This reactor …

A dynamic model for a fixed-bed reactor for methanol synthesis is presented. The model is
compared with its steady state version. The analysis points out that the numerical stability of …

To mitigate the effects of anthropogenic climate change, various options for decarbonizing
the transport sector are under investigation. One promising approach is the chemical …

This work investigates possible design advances in the series of fixed-bed reactors for
methanol and dimethyl ether synthesis. Specifically, the systematic staging design proposed …

In this work, a novel combination of fixed and fluidized-bed hydrogen-permselective
membrane reactors for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been optimized using Genetic …

A two-step configuration consisting water-cooled and gas-cooled reactors has been
developed by Lurgi to produce methanol from natural gas. The gas-cooled reactor, which is …
