FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to versions of a method of stabilising the hydroformylation process and a device for realising the said method. One version of the method involves reaction of one or more reagents, carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst to obtain an exhaust gas stream and a reaction product stream which contains one or more products, in which the method described above is realised at such partial pressure of carbon monoxide that, the rate of reaction increases when partial pressure of carbon monoxide falls, and falls when partial pressure of carbon monoxide increases; and in which the following steps of the process for stabilising the rate of reaction, total pressure, speed of the exhaust gas stream, reaction temperature or combinations thereof are carried out, process steps including at least one of the following process control schemata, selected from: Scheme A: (a1) setting a given total pressure; (a2) determination of total pressure and determination of the difference between the measured total pressure and the given total pressure; and (a3) based on the pressure difference measured at step (a2), manipulation of the stream of incoming gas which contains carbon monoxide in order to balance the measured total pressure to virtually the given total pressure; and Scheme B: (b1) setting a given speed of the exhaust gas stream; (b2) determination of the speed of the exhaust gas stream and determination of the difference between the measured speed of the exhaust gas stream and the given speed of the exhaust gas stream; and (b3) manipulation of the speed of incoming gas which contains carbon monoxide based on the difference in the speed of the exhaust gas stream measured at step (b2) in order to equalise the determined speed of the exhaust gas stream virtually with the given speed of the exhaust gas stream.

EFFECT: design of an efficient method of stabilising the hydroformylation process.
