Changes in the reaction conversion rate of catalytic reforming
Thread Content
Dear experts, I need help: What changes will occur in the conversion rate of catalytic reforming when the space velocity is increased and the hydrogen-to-oil ratio is reduced? Kneeling in gratitude! !
The reaction conversion rate should decrease, what do you think, OP?
Increasing the space velocity reduces the contact time with the oil agent; in other words, the residence time of the reactants in the catalyst bed is shortened, which is not favorable for dehydration. But at the same time, it reduced the hydrogen-to-oil ratio, leading to an increased tendency for dehydrogenation reactions. It’s hard to judge such a result.
Here, we are facing a sharp decline in the amount of recycled hydrogen, an acceleration of the cracking reaction, a decrease in the liquid yield, paralysis of the contact and recontact systems, and shutdown of the booster pumps.
