What Does FBR Stand For?
FBR stands for Fixed Bed Reactor
FBR, or Fixed Bed Reactor, is a type of chemical reactor where solid catalyst particles are fixed in place within the reactor vessel, allowing for the continuous flow of reactants through the bed. This design is commonly used in processes such as hydrogenation and catalytic reforming, where the fixed bed facilitates efficient mass transfer and reaction kinetics. FBRs are characterized by their ability to provide high selectivity and stability in various industrial applications, making them a vital component in chemical manufacturing and energy production.
