4. Industrial reactor technology and operation
4.1 Hydrodynamics
As the empty-barrel gas velocity increases (at constant gas composi-tion), the amount of SO 2 that presents itself to the catalyst per unit time increases and consequently the conversion percentage decreases.
In practice, the gas velocity in industrial reactors is between 0.3 and 0.5 Nm
