The heat exchanger at the reactor outlet of the catalytic fluidized bed is clogged, preventing long-term operation
Thread Content
We use a coaxial counter-reaction system; the oil and gas from the reactor outlet is cooled in a waste heat exchanger before entering the quench oil tower. The waste heat exchanger often gets clogged, forcing us to stop operations for maintenance.
The catalyst has been taken out; it will definitely cause blockages, so something needs to be done to prevent the catalyst from entering the waste vessel. Can a cyclone separator be installed before entering the waste boiler? Or something like a dust collector.
