How Does the Injection System Affect Catalytic Performance?
The design and operation of the injection system can have a profound impact on catalytic performance:
Mass Transfer: Efficient injection enhances the mass transfer between reactants and the catalyst surface, which is crucial for high reaction rates. Pressure Drop: The configuration of the injection system can influence the pressure drop across the reactor, which in turn affects the overall energy efficiency of the process. Residence Time: Proper injection systems ensure that the reactants have the appropriate residence time in the reactor, which is essential for complete conversion.
