Implementation of the Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium On the Kinetic Model for the Oligomerization of Olefins.

ABSTRACT: The oligomerization of light C₂-C₄ olefins has emerged as one of the most studied processes for the sustainable production of different refinery cuts of interest as green fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, or aviation fuels. However, oligomerization is a complex process in which the presence of a gas and liquid phase (heavy oligomers) leads to unique phenomena in this reaction: an apparent initial deactivation of the catalyst due to the pore filling with retained oligomers and a steady state of catalyst constant activity. These features make it difficult to develop robust kinetic models to simulate the reactor and upscale the process. Herein, a lump kinetic model has been developed for the simulation of 1-butene oligomerization in a packed-bed reactor using a catalyst o
