Abstract
The syngas-to-DME reaction is highly exothermic, and the catalyst temperature window is very narrow. The fluidized-bed reactor is, therefore, an ideal choice to carry out these reactions. RTI is developing a circulating fluidized bed design for DME synthesis. This paper discusses a two-phase CFD model and optimization of the solids circulation rate.
