What are the functions of the hydrogenation reactor and hydrogen mixing?
Thread Content
I can’t quite remember what the function of the hydrogenation reactor is? What is the role of mixed hydrogen?
The main function of the hydrogenation reactor is to remove metal impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen from oils, to convert organic sulfur into inorganic sulfur, and to saturate olefins. The role of mixing hydrogen is to make the oil and gas mix more evenly within the catalyst bed of the reactor, which facilitates the hydrogenation reaction and prevents catalyst coking. Please give your advice
The reactor provides a space for the hydrogenation reaction; hydrogen is mixed in to participate in the reaction, increasing the flow rate and ensuring uniform mixing
The hydrogenation reactor also has functions of carbon removal, hydrocracking, and isomerization. Cooling air can control the temperature rise between bed layers.
In gasoline hydrogenation, the first reaction is primarily used for the saturation of olefins, while the second reaction is mainly aimed at desulfurization, dewaxing, and improving octane number. In diesel hydrogenation, the first reaction is mainly used for desulfurization, and the second reaction is used for isomerization and reducing viscosity
