Gasoline hydrogenation load problem
Thread Content
What impact will low load and intermittent production have on the gasoline hydrogenation OCT--M device? Please tell me about gasoline hydrogenation.
Large energy consumption increases the cost, and channeling may occur in the reactor.
I agree with the second floor's opinion. At low load, bias flow or channel flow is likely to occur in the catalyst bed of the reactor, resulting in unqualified products.
Isn’t low load also an invisible damage to the catalyst? Why should low load be used?
There are insufficient raw materials, market forecasts are not optimistic, and the design load is too large.
The consequences of low-load production of the gasoline hydrogenation unit: 1. The hydrogenation reactor will frequently experience temperature surges until an accident occurs or the catalyst is damaged! 2. Low-load production will cause a significant drop in the octane number of gasoline. 3. Low-load production will cause increased gasoline losses. 4. Low-load production will cause the energy consumption of the device to increase. 5. The catalyst bed is prone to bias flow or channel flow.
personal opinion: The main impact of low-load production is an increase in energy consumption and costs. As long as the amount of circulating hydrogen is sufficient, it will generally not cause bias in the catalyst bed, let alone frequent temperature spikes. Temperature spikes occur only due to violent reactions, high loads, and too long residence times.
