Problem with catalyst supported by springs at the bottom of the methanol-to-hydrogen reactor!
Thread Content
The catalysts in the methanol-to-hydrogen reactors here are supported by stainless steel springs. During production, these springs can fall off, causing short circuits in the hydrogen production reactors and reducing the amount of hydrogen produced. Does anyone have a better solution to support the catalyst and prevent the spring and catalyst from falling off? Thank you in advance.
Why not try using ceramic balls...
Methanol to hydrogen – is this the production of hydrogen through methanol cracking?
Hydrogen production by methanol cracking of 12,000.
The reactor is like a vertical heat exchanger, filled with tubes, one after another; each tube is supported by springs at its bottom, and ceramic balls cannot be used.
Those pagoda-shaped ones are no longer in use; now a tray is placed at the bottom to hold the ceramic balls
Hydrogen production from 15,000 cubic meters of methanol, using a tubular heat exchanger; the design follows a conventional approach with upper and lower end caps, where the lower end cap is filled with ceramic balls to provide support
