What is the effect of stripping steam on the catalyst circulation rate?
Thread Content
The device is of external lift tube coaxial type
Good stripping efficiency reduces the coking rate; in catalytic units without external heat removal, a low coking rate allows the bed temperature to be lowered, thereby increasing the catalyst circulation rate.
I thought the same thing at the time; considering we have an external heat exchanger, I felt it didn’t make much sense to say so. If you think it that way simply, it’s understandable anyway. Still, thank you
