What are the drawbacks of increasing the hydrogen-to-oil ratio in reforming?
Thread Content
What other effects might increasing the hydrogen-to-oil ratio have, besides causing excessive energy consumption in the compressor? Are there the five key reactions that facilitate reorganization?
Increasing the hydrogen-to-oil ratio means increasing the amount of hydrogen. However, when this ratio gets too high, hydrogenolysis reactions occur, which in turn intensifies cracking
There are hardly any other effects aside from increased energy consumption; as long as your compressor’s parameters are adequate, that’s fine, hehehe
As the hydrogen-to-oil ratio increases, the space velocity increases relatively while the processing volume remains unchanged, which reduces the reaction time and lowers the degree of reaction. It still has a certain impact on the subsequent reactions.
Increasing the hydrogen-to-hydrocarbon ratio will reduce the depth of the reformation aromatization reaction; however, the production of C1 and C2 compounds decreases accordingly, making the operation of the debutanizing column relatively easier (though the impact is minimal)
