The invention pertains to a system for operating parallel reactors, which comprises: -a plurality of reactor assemblies, each reactor assembly comprising: -a flow-through reactor -a reactor feed line, -a reactor effluent line, -a primary fluid source, -a flow splitter which is arranged downstream of the primary fluid source and upstream of the reactor assemblies, and wherein all passive flow restrictors have an substantially equal resistance to fluid flow wherein the system further comprises a feed line pressure measurement device, wherein in each effluent line an individually controllable backpressure regulator is provided, and wherein further a pressure control arrangement is provided, said pressure control arrangement being linked to said feed line pressure measurement device and said backpressure regulators, said pressure control arrangement comprising an input device allowing to input a feed line pressure setpoint, said desired feed line pressure being the same for all reactor assemblies, wherein said pressure control arrangement is adapted to individually control the backpressure regulators such that the measured feed line pressure becomes substantially the same as the feed line pressure setpoint, and therewith substantially the same as the feed line pressures in the other reactor assemblies. |
