Development of the Catalyst Bed in a Flat Bed Reactor for CO2 Methanation
This work presents a development step for a novel flatbed reactor for CO2 methanation as well as a CFD-based method that can be used for the development and optimization of reactors. The development step comprises the construction of the catalyst bed in the flat bed reactor into which a pure stoichiometric reactive gas is fed. The results show that a high CO2 conversion (92.9 %) and a small rise in temperature in the catalyst bed (12.4 degrees C) can be achieved with an arrangement of the catalyst bed. The heat flow reaches 1924 W m(-2) in the hot spot zone.
