Abstract
A comparison is made between the monolithic catalyst reactor and the trickle-bed reactor for applications in liquid-phase hydrogenations. Their relative merits with respect to factors like cost, flow distribution, pressure drop and scale-up are discussed. Based on a simple mathematic model, computer simulations have been carried out which illustrate the relative performance in terms of productivity, selectivity and pressure drop. A consecutive hydrogenation reaction has been taken as a model reaction.
