Abstract
This paper presents selected results from the experimental programme of the EU project 'Intelligent column internals for reactive separations (INTINT)'. Two types of structured catalytic packings, KATAPAK®-S from Sulzer and MULTIPAK® from Montz, each of them in two different constructions, are the subjects of the investigations presented here. RTD was studied experimentally using a tracer technique in 55Â mm i.d. test column. Liquid hold-up and axial dispersion coefficients have been derived from RTD curves recorded during experiments and can be used for modelling the catalytic distillation process. The derived conclusions allow an evaluation of the column internals and facilitate an improved design with respect to the investigated properties.
