Several strategies can be employed to prevent or mitigate fouling in catalytic systems:
- Feedstock Pretreatment: Removing impurities from feedstock before it enters the catalytic reactor can reduce fouling. - Catalyst Design: Developing catalysts with higher resistance to fouling, such as those with improved pore structures or surface properties. - Process Optimization: Adjusting operating conditions, such as temperature and pressure, to minimize fouling. - Regular Maintenance: Implementing routine cleaning and maintenance schedules to remove deposits before they cause significant issues.
