Résumé :

The performances of a multifunctional reactor based on the in-situ condensation and separation of the product are investigated for two industrial importance exothermal catalytic synthesis : the benzene hydrogenation into cyclohexane and methanol synthesis from syngas. The condensed products are separated in-situ from the reacting medium through a hydraulic seal, in order to drive the equilibrium composition towards the product. The experimental background for the Reactor-Condenser (axial and radial configurations) is presented. A 1D, steady-state model is developed. The performances of the Reactor-Condenser are compared to industrial data in the case of the methanol synthesis.
