Valves have a direct impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of catalytic processes:
- Flow Control: Precise control of reactant flow rates ensures that the catalyst operates under optimal conditions, enhancing reaction rates and selectivity. - Pressure Regulation: Valves help maintain the required pressure levels within reactors, which is crucial for reactions that are pressure-sensitive. - Safety: Valves can be used to isolate sections of the system, preventing leaks and enabling safe maintenance operations.
