Does the acidic gas stream contain a catalyst?
Thread Content
I study sulfur, and due to work requirements, I would like to ask whether the acidic gases from DCC contain catalysts. Thank you
No, the catalyst is only present in the reaction and distillation column bottom systems; if it gets into the acidic gas stream, the facility is essentially ruined.
Acidic gas comes out from the top of the solvent regeneration tower; there is no possibility of catalysts being present there. Catalysts are only found in the reaction regeneration system, and possibly in the oil slurry in the distillation tower
The sludge obtained from the maintenance and cleaning of the desulfurization unit contained 40% catalyst, as we had analyzed; at that time, we were not engaged in coking. However, in acid gas systems, only “gel” can generally be seen, with no catalyst present.
No, how could a catalyst end up in the acidic gas?
