## Abstract A simulation of an inert membrane reactor in the partial oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride in high butane concentrations (2–13%) is presented. A porous membrane was used to distribute oxygen to a fixed bed of VPO catalyst, to which butane was fed. Two different reactor configurati
