Regarding hydrogen embrittlement and other hazards in hydrogenation reactors
Thread Content
During the hydrocracking process, the reactor is subject to risks related to low-temperature toughness and hydrogen embrittlement. Some people on the internet say that modern materials make these issues irrelevant, while others claim that the pressure should not exceed 25% of the design pressure before the temperature is raised to 90°C. Is there any basis for these claims? Who can explain this in detail, or send some relevant materials? I would be very grateful
You can ask the engineers in charge of your equipment or materials science about this; this temperature is mainly limited by the material used in the reactor. I think the temperature used to be over 120 degrees before. . Now that technology has improved, it has become 90 degrees. . As for why it is this specific temperature, I’m not sure. .
