Discussion on the amount of catalytic terminator!
Thread Content
In our catalytic unit, acidic water is used as the terminator, and its amount is automatically set at 2000 kg; it remains constant regardless of changes in the raw materials or the volume of processing. I wonder how everyone controls it! I seek advice from experts! ! !
We use crude gasoline as a terminator; I wonder how effective acidic water would be as a terminator?
The effect is similar; the goal in both cases is to stop the secondary reaction. Using acidic water as a terminator means that this acidic water circulates between the reaction stages, increasing the load on the acidic water pump
There are quite a few posts on the forum comparing different types of terminators; remember to use the search function to check them out!
The amount of terminator used depends mainly on the product distribution and whether the equipment’s capacity can meet the requirements; after all, its use increases the load on the air compressor, as well as the load on the rear cooler and other components Regarding the products, the key is to see whether it reduces the yields of dry gas and coke while increasing the yield of liquid products! This value is generally adjusted within a small range; the central value for your device is likely around 2 tons, so it’s understandable that no adjustments are made!
There is a difference between using acidic water and using crude gasoline, especially in terms of product control.
I asked you to check the forum posts! No definite conclusion has been reached!
