Abstract
A simulation model has been proposed and used to predict the behavior of a laboratory pseudoadiabatic reactor for the transformation of methanol into hydrocarbons. The model incorporates recent advances in the kinetic modeling of the main reaction steps and of the deactivation by coke of the catalyst in the 350-450 C range and is efficient for analyzing the effect of process conditions (space time, water content and inert gas in the feed, and inlet temperature) on the evolution with time on stream of the temperature profile along the reactor and on the yields of the product lumps.
