The performance of a fixed-bed and entrained flow reactor for the sorption-enhanced methanol synthesis from CO₂ is assessed by modelling. Both reactors achieve good performance but show possible drawbacks. The fixed bed reactor requires several units working in parallel, while the entrained flow reactor needs a large volume due to the high superficial particle velocity. We propose a new reactor type, which combines a circulating sorbent with a fluidized bed methanol catalyst in bubbling regime. This solution achieves high CO₂ conversion with high space velocity in a continuous manner.
