[Help] Sulfur poisoning of reforming catalyst – how does the overhead gas from the gasoline stabilizer tower change? Why
Thread Content
What changes occur in the overhead gas of the gasoline stabilizer due to sulfur poisoning of the reforming catalyst? Why
There is an increase in the gas at the top of the tower; in my opinion, sulfur poisoning leads to a decline in the metal’s functionality, while the acidic functionality increases relatively. I would appreciate everyone’s insights
The gas volume at the top of the tower increases; sulfur, being a poison to the metal centers, reduces the dehydrogenation reactions, while the cracking reactions increase accordingly. As a result, the purity of the recycled hydrogen decreases, and the liquid yield drops. The total temperature drop decreases, especially in the reverse case
Tip: Read the reforming catalyst user manual more often! :):)
