Standby for fixed-bed reactors
Thread Content
The fixed-bed reactor in my workshop has been loaded with the catalyst; A is in operation, while B is ready for use. But accidentally, gasoline was also poured into B (normally, the backup reactor is filled with nitrogen for protection). May I ask, experts, can our Reactor B still be used as a backup?
Let’s get the gasoline removed first, and then give it another try
It should work, by draining all the gasoline. Purge with nitrogen, then flush with nitrogen.
Our backup fixed-bed is filled with gasoline, and based on our previous experience, there should be no problem
Please first drain all the oil from the backup fixed-bed reactor; there should be no problem with that.
