Help: High levels of CO and CO2 in the hydrogen used in gasoline hydrogenation – what impact does this have on the product?
Thread Content
Could some expert please help answer this? Thank you
When the CO level is high, a methanation exothermic reaction occurs, resulting in a significant increase in reactor temperature. The catalyst is affected, and levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide rise; moreover, the purity of the recycled hydrogen is low and the degree of reaction is insufficient
Levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide above 10 ppm will inhibit the catalyst’s performance, with the most direct consequence being an excessive sulfur content in the gasoline, rendering it unqualified! ! !
Carbon dioxide has an impact on catalysts; this issue can be resolved in acidic water stripping towers by using corrosion inhibitors with carbon dioxide complexing capabilities
High levels of CO and CO2 in the reactor lead to exothermic methanation reactions. Operating the temperature inside the influencer may result in substandard product quality!
