Why are there requirements for the steam quality in hydrogen production units
Thread Content
What impact does its steam requirement have on the catalysts in the converter?
Won’t having too much water damage the catalyst? That’s impressive; it also has a significant impact on pressure
Sodium, chlorine, conductivity, silica – excessive levels can lead to chloride stress corrosion, scaling, and pipeline corrosion; in the case of medium pressure applications in turbines, it can damage the impellers!
Because the generated medium-pressure steam is generally fed into the pipeline network to supply power to the turbines in the hydrogenation unit. Failing to meet the standards has an impact on the compressor impeller
Steam is used as a gas distribution medium; the main requirement for steam is regarding chlorine, as excessive levels of this element can cause chlorination poisoning and deactivation of the conversion catalyst.
It’s mainly chlorine. It affects the catalyst lifespan.
