What is the relationship between water injection and chlorine injection in the regeneration system of the continuous reforming unit?
Thread Content
In actual operation of a continuous reforming unit, what is the ratio of water injection to chlorine injection in the oxychlorination section of the regeneration system? Please give us some advice and discuss together based on your own experience in actual operations.
In the regeneration part, only chlorine is injected. The amount of chlorine injected without water is generally controlled based on the chlorine content on the catalyst. The chlorine content is generally controlled at 1.1-1.3%.
Correct, the chlorine injection amount is calculated based on the actual chlorine content of the chlorinating agent and the chlorine content detected by the catalyst.
The regeneration system only injects chlorine but not water. The water injection is in the reforming feed line. . The purpose of both is to maintain the water-chlorine balance of the catalyst.
