Is feeding the MTBE reactor from below and discharging from above better than feeding from above and discharging from below?

Can changing the reactor feeding method improve the conversion rate? After adding high-purity isobutylene to the processing raw materials, what aspects need attention during the modification if external circulation is increased?
Ours is designed to allow flow from top to bottom; it’s not advisable for defective products to flow out, as that could also cause pressure buildup.
Mixed-bed reactors generally have material flow from top to bottom, while fixed-bed reactors usually have material flow from bottom to top
If an external circulation is added, attention must be paid to the pressure at the outlet of the circulation pump, which should be equal to the pressure in the reaction system; simultaneously, the external circulation water cooler must also be capable of handling the required load
One is a compacted bed, and the other is an expanded bed; both are excellent. But the fluidized bed has better operational flexibility.
