Definitions

  • HEAT EXCHANGER/REACTOR APPARATUS This invention relates to catalyst support structures for external heat and mass transport limited chemical processes and heat and mass transport apparatus.
  • CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PATENTS Of interest are commonly owned copending U.S. applications
  • Application Serial No. 09/002539 entitled “Catalyst Carrier Device and Element Therefor” filed January 2, 1998 in the name of Paikert et al. corresponding to PCT/US98/27699 filed December 29, 1998
  • Catalyst support structures are known for use in heat/mass transfer limited chemical processes in tubular reactors. Catalyst geometries for such processes that are currently performed in small diameter, i.e., less than 8", multi-tubular chemical reactors are chosen to enhance external heat transfer.
  • One type of catalyst support structure is known as Raschig rings. Heat transport is important in highly exothermic reactions and also highly endothermic reactions such as syngas production. The geometry of the catalyst is also important where mass transport is a limiting factor, such as in exhaust gas cleanup.
  • Catalytic tubular fixed bed reactors are widely used for the production of basic chemicals and intermediates, e.g., the partial oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide (single phase, gaseous highly exothermic reaction).
  • the optimum reaction temperature in this case is about 250° C at pressures around 20 bar.
  • Typical industrial reactors are of shell and tube type as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the reaction conditions are critical. If the temperature is too low, the chemical reaction rate is too small and the process becomes more expensive to operate; if it is too high, the sequential reaction of ethylene oxide to carbon oxides is increased at the expense of valuable product.
  • the catalyst is arranged in tubes and the heat exchange fluid (typically water or oil) circulates externally around the tubes. It is also possible to use a vaporizing fluid as the cooling media.
  • the reactor contains 6,000 to 12,000 tubes of 18 to 38 mm in diameter and up to 10 meters in height.
  • the catalyst is packed in the tubes in the form of ceramic spheres or rings with a diameter of 3 to 10 mm.
  • the reactors are typically run in a recycle mode, since the per pass conversion is low ( ⁇ 50%).
  • the catalyst support structure or packing has to be installed into the tubes and removed from the tubes easily.
  • Ceramic pellets or spheres are used as catalyst supports in present applications.
  • the generated heat must be transported perpendicular to the main flow direction in the tubes through the fixed catalyst bed to the tube walls.
  • the radial heat transport is established as a result of the random arrangement and the resulting tortuous flow around the pellets.
  • Hollow and full cylinders are in this case more effective than spheres due to their greater non-uniformity.
  • the heat transport at the boundary between the fixed bed and the tube wall is also decisive.
  • the flow within the tube is not uniform with higher velocity along the tube wall than in the center due to differences in free volume (flow resistance). Thus, the flow will bypass the center of the packing and heat transfer from the tube center to the wall is reduced. This velocity profile is established within the first 10-20 equivalent packing diameters, creating a barrier for effective convective radial heat transfer.
  • the present inventors recognize a need for an improved tubular reactor to create a more uniform radial temperature profile within the heat exchanger tubes to provide more uniform reaction conditions leading to higher reaction selectivity and which will overcome the problems noted above with the prior art heat exchanger catalyst support or packing structures. More particularly, the present inventors recognize that catalyst coated micro fiber metal sheets will provide both an improvement in volumetric catalyst activity, particularly due to a decrease in mass transfer resistances, and also the desired more uniform radial temperature profile within the heat exchanger tubes.
  • the problem with such micro fiber sheets is the need to place such material in small diameter tubes, i, e., provide ease of manufacturability, while at the same time provide enhanced heat or mass transfer. Therefore, such sheets need to be appropriately configured to be easily placed in small diameter tubes.
  • a heat/mass transfer apparatus comprises a thermally conductive tube having a longitudinal axis for receiving a first fluid internally thereof thermally conductively contacting the tube internal surface and having an external surface for transfer of heat energy from the internal surface to a second cooling fluid thermally conductively contacting the tube external surface.
  • a packing comprises at least one catalyst coated porous thermally conductive sheet material in the tube, the sheet material having pores exhibiting a plurality of interstices in fluid communication with each other and externally the material, the sheet material for providing a reaction with the first fluid and for the transfer of reaction heat energy in the first fluid to the tube, the sheet material lying in a plane extending along the tube axis and including vanes extending therefrom arranged for directing the first fluid laterally across the tube axis against the tube for optimizing energy transfer from the first fluid to the tube and for thermally conductively transferring energy from the sheet material to the tube.
  • the sheet material comprises a plurality of sections, adjacent sections forming a fluid passage chamber therebetween and extending in the axial direction of the tube axis.
  • the vanes form turbulence generators and extend into the corresponding chamber from the sections and are arranged for directing fluid flow laterally along the corresponding section relative to the tube axis toward the tube.
  • the catalyst is secured to the material for reacting with the fluid as the - received first fluid impinges on the packing and passes through the interstices.
  • the porous material preferably comprises sintered metal fibers.
  • the porous material comprises planar sheet material.
  • the packing is modular, a plurality of said modular packings being located in the tube in series along the tube axis.
  • the packing is a module comprising a plurality of sheet material sections, adjacent sections defining a fluid channel therebetween.
  • the packing is a single sheet of material with a plurality of sections, each section being connected by fold lines to an adjacent section.
  • the adjacent sections are interconnected by an intermediate interface.
  • each section has opposing edges in thermal conductive contact with the tube.
  • the sections are spaced to form a channel therebetween, adjacent sections being connected by an interface in thermal conductive contact with the tube.
  • the turbulence generators preferably comprise an array of vanes extending from each section, the array being aligned along the tube axis.
  • the vanes have a width dimension and a length dimension that are inclined relative to the tube axis, the length direction being inclined laterally the tube axis to direct the first fluid against the tube.

  • the shell 4 is a circular cylinder with semi-spherical end plates 8 and 10 at the respective top and bottom of the cavity 6.
  • a gas inlet pipe 10 is at the bottom end plate for supplying a gas to be processed into inlet manifold 16.
  • a gas outlet pipe 14 receives processed gas from exhaust manifold 18.
  • An array of linear tubes 20, which may be metal or other good heat conductive material, and which may be of any desired internal diameter as discussed in the introductory portion, are connected in parallel in fluid communication with the inlet and exhaust manifolds 16 and 18.
  • fluid flowing into inlet manifold 16 from the pipe 12 flows through the tubes 20 into the exhaust manifold 18 into the outlet pipe 14.
  • the cavity 6 has a cooling fluid inlet 22 and a cooling fluid outlet 24.
  • Cooling fluid such as water or other liquid or gas flows into the cavity in convective contact with all of the tubes 20. Vaporizing liquid can also be used for cooling, just as condensing fluid can be used if heating is necessary.
  • the cooling fluid transfers heat from the tubes 20 generated by the reaction in tubes 20.
  • the cooling fluid e.g., water, cools the reaction fluid, e.g., gas., flowing in the tubes 20 from the gas inlet pipe 12 to the outlet pipe 14.
  • prior art reactors/heat exchangers employ ceramic rings or other structures in the tubes as catalyst support structures.
  • the catalysts may not provide as complete a reaction as desired or excessive amounts of other unwanted products may be made.
  • the term mass transfer in this art refers to the motion of the fluid and its contact with the catalyst. As mentioned in the introductory portion, the mass transfer refers to the transport of reactants to the surface of the catalyst by convection or diffusion, chemisorption of the reactants to the centers of the catalyst in order to insure complete reaction with the catalyst, the chemical reaction itself, the desorption of the products and the mass transport of the products away from the surface.
  • the prior art support structures and catalysts thereon do not provide efficient processing in respect of these various parameters involved with the chemical reaction process as described in the introductory portion.
  • the present - invention provides modules of catalyst support structure packing inside the tubes which are significantly more efficient in transferring heat / unit of pressure loss.
  • a catalyst support structure or heat transfer modular packing 28 is placed axially in each tube for . the length of each tube 20.
  • the packings 28 each comprise a single one piece sheet of porous mesh or screen material made of metal or other fibers.
  • the fiber material may also be ceramic, glass, carbon or any combination thereof.

  • Fold lines 30, 30' define a planar section 38 therebetween of the flat planar sheet mesh material.

  • Sections 38 and 40 form a fluid flow channel 42 therebetween for fluid flowing nominally in direction 44 therein from the inlet manifold 16 to the outlet manifold 18, Fig. 1.
  • the actual direction of fluid flow in the tubes is complex due to turbulence as will be described and also flows inclined transverse to the tube longitudinal axis defined by direction 44.
  • the region between sections 38 and 40 by way of example, between fold lines 30' and 31' forms a generally rectangular intermediate tube interface 46 which abuts the tube 20 inner surface.
  • the sections 38 and 48 which are representative of the orientation of the other sections in the packing 28 are parallel and parallel to the other sections in the packing. As a result there is an array 48 of parallel sections, each section terminating at a foldline forming an interface with the fold line of the adjacent section.
  • the intermediate interfaces such as interface 46 all abut an inner surface of the tube 20 in preferable thermal conductive relation.
  • the sections such as sections 38 and 40 and so on are all interconnected as a one piece structure separated by fold lines and an intermediate interface, such as interface 46.

  • turbulence generator vanes 52, 54 and 56 Located in each channel are turbulence generator vanes 52, 54 and 56, for example in channel 58.
  • the vanes are all inclined at about 45° with respect to the fluid flow direction 44 through the tube 20, but may be inclined at other angles.
  • the vanes redirect fluid impinging on the vanes transversely against the tube 20 inner side wall surface to optimize heat transfer to the tube.
  • the vanes 52, 54 and 56 are just a few of the vanes attached to section. Other like vanes are in spaced alignment with the vanes 53, 54 and 56 in the axial fluid flow direction 44 of the tube 20 in a vertical array.
  • Either an interface or vane (at the edge of the packing such as vanes 57 and 59, Fig. 4) is in thermal conductive contact with the inner surface of tube 20.
  • the modular packing 28 is thus a zig-zag structure folded in accordion fashion with somewhat rectangular channels formed by planar sections and intermediate interfaces.
  • the intermediate interfaces are at angles to the plane of some of the sections so as to mate with corresponding curvature of the tube 20 inner surface as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the orientation of the vanes are different, but the dimensioning of the vanes is the same for a given tube internal diameter as the relative orientation of the vanes is not critical for a given tube, the orientation of all of the modules preferably being the same in each corresponding tube.

Heat treatment provides good wetting properties because a slight oxidation layer on the fibers provides the desired wetting action.

This provides the desired attachment of the coating onto the fiber surfaces and may not affect the properties of the catalyst.
  • the preferred micro fiber mesh material which can be provided by the sintered fiber sheet material of the catalyst carrier device elements provides relatively high catalyst surface area with optimum access to the catalyst by fluids. Where relatively rapid chemical reactions are employed, utilization of the internal surface area of the porous material is dependent upon the rate of transport of the gases to these surfaces. The mass transport is faster in the case of driven forced flow (convection) than by mere concentration of gradients (diffusion). The intended optimum device, therefore, provides optimum cross flow of the fluids at low pressure differentials there across.

Abstract

Une pluralité de tubes de réaction est dans une cavité de cuve de réaction dans laquelle traverse un fluide de refroidissement. Une pluralité de garnitures modulaires est disposée dans chaque tube, lesquelles garnitures comprennent un matériau en feuilles de mailles poreuses en fibres de métal fritté d'un diamètre d'environ 1-30 µm enduite d'un catalyseur, le matériau présentant un volume de vide de préférence entre 80% et 95%. Chaque module est formé d'une unique feuille de matériau qui est repliée sur elle-même plusieurs fois de façon à former une interface intermédiaire qui est conductivement en contact thermique avec le tube, et une paire de sections parallèles espacées, les sections et les interfaces formant une structure en zigzag pour faciliter la fabrication et l'insertion dans les tubes. Les sections sont des feuilles planes à générateurs de turbulences en forme d'aubes faites dans le matériau de la feuille, et se déployant dans les canaux des sections adjacentes. Les aubes des extrémités présentent des bords arqués de façon à toucher directement le tube comme le font les bords des extrémités des sections et des interfaces de façon à assurer un contact thermoconducteur accru avec le tube. Le matériau maillé comporte un catalyseur dans ses vides. Les aubes dirigent le fluide dans les tubes contre les bords de l'alésage du tube et créent également de la turbulence de façon à favoriser l'écoulement du fluide au travers du matériau maillé.
