This publication provides the data of a study executed with an inclined rotating fixed-bed reactor. Here, the hydrogenation of alpha-methylstyrene was investigated via experiments and simulations. In particular gas-limited reaction conditions were analyzed to reveal the potential of the reactor for process intensification. The space-time yield of the reactor was taken as performance measure and compared to a conventional trickle-bed reactor. The simulations were executed with a hybrid model, consisting of an Eulerian-Eulerian model and a heterogeneous continuum model.
