Popis: In this work, a kinetic model of the catalyzed water gas shift reaction applying a Fe/Cr based catalyst found from investigations in a micro reactor test rig is validated with experimental data from a pilot plant water gas shift reactor. The reactor was fed with product gas from an industrial biomass dual fluidized bed steam gasification plant. The validation was done with product gas upstream a rapeseed methyl ester gas scrubber and product gas downstream a rapeseed methyl ester gas scrubber of the biomass gasification plant. In both cases, the calculated and measured values of the concentrations at the outlet of the reactor showed good agreement. However, the model shows inaccuracy regarding the temperature profile at the entrance of the reactor. If the kinetic model can be improved and adapted, it could be useful for basic design and engineering of an industrial scale water gas shift reactor applying a Fe/Cr based catalyst and processing product gas from biomass steam gasification.
