Continuous reforming regeneration pressure
Thread Content
For continuous reforming units, the regeneration pressure is low for UOP, while it is high for Axens – what is the reason for this? My understanding: UOP wastewater has a high content of water, and if the pressure is high, water will precipitate out.
It’s mainly due to the different positions of the sealed materials. UOP’s is located below the regenerator, while Axense’s is above it; in addition to controlling the circulation rate, the lockhopper can also enable the transition from low pressure to high pressure
Even though UOP’s closed hopper is located at the lower part of the regenerator, it is still possible to switch between high and low pressures in terms of pressure. It doesn’t seem to be closely related to the regenerator pressure, right?
It seems like I’m hearing this for the first time – high pressure seems to be unfavorable for water removal!
If the regenerator pressure for UOP is set at 0.55 MPa, can the catalyst in the reactor be upgraded? A closed hopper must be used to achieve the transition from the low pressure in the reactor to the high pressure in the regenerator.
