The two‐phase reactor with pre‐saturator was investigated for the hydrogenation of 1‐octene and the hydrogenation of an adipic hexanediole‐oligoester. For low concentrations of the liquid reactant the reactor is a suitable system. For high concentrations a liquid recycle is necessary and although the residence time is higher the recycling might have a positive influence on the external mass transfer.
