We keep the reaction pressure in our units at around 165. Looking at the data from other plants, their reaction pressure is in the 100s. Why is there such a big difference in reaction pressure despite both being catalytic units? What is the starting point for designing the reaction pressure, including the regeneration pressure?
This is mainly limited by the design pressure of the main fan in the unit; the volume of material to be processed determines the selection of the fan
Basic data prior to device design is very important; it depends on the properties of your raw materials and the desired characteristics of the final product. Through pilot tests or calculations, you can determine the distribution and properties of the product, which in turn helps in deciding on the appropriate equipment, operating conditions, as well as the main additives to be used
As mentioned above, the level of reaction pressure is determined by the design parameters of the apparatus; in my case, the reaction pressure must generally be kept at no less than 155 KPA
The most crucial factor is still the processing capacity of the unit; it determines the type and pressure of the air compressor and the main fan, which in turn determines the pressures for reaction and regeneration! Additionally, catalyst transfer between the counter-current streams must also be considered; that is, a certain pressure difference is necessary!
Now our pressure has risen to over 200; the regenerator pressure is 225
Then why is your stress level so high?
This is related to how your device processes things.
