Problems with catalytic boosters
Thread Content
Do you still use your booster now? Could the pressurized air be replaced by main air (using the main air for fluidization air and lift air)? I hope the experts can provide some guidance. Thank you!
Still using it! The pressurized air is merely a small portion of the main air that is pressurized; there’s no need to pressurize all the air – that would be a waste!
The external heat extraction under catalytic operation with heavy oil involves a very high load; how can air be introduced without pressurization? If it’s not sufficient, reduce the inlet flow rate of the booster; as long as the pressure control valve remains open, surging will be avoided. If the amount of air required is low, simply switch to using system air
By shutting down the booster, isn’t that a way to save energy and reduce consumption?

Can the booster be turned off, and should the fluidization air and lift air use the main air?
Replacing the pressurized air with main air means that the pressure of the exhaust air used for external heat extraction is equal to the pressure of the main air entering the regenerator; it is likely impossible to blow the catalyst back into the regenerator, as there is a certain pressure drop as the catalyst returns to the regenerator via the distributor after being cooled externally
Based on the load of the non-purified air for utility systems, non-purified air can be used to replace pressurized air. Disabling the booster pump not only helps save energy and reduce consumption but also eliminates the maintenance costs associated with it.
If you have sufficient wind pressure, it’s possible! But the prerequisite is that your main fan can meet the requirements; in that case, the initial investment in equipment will be very high! Moreover, these values change depending on the load on the device; it is more reasonable to use unpurified air as a substitute!
