Thermal Regeneration is one of the most widely used methods for coke removal. The process typically involves the following steps:
Preheating: The catalyst is heated to a moderate temperature to remove moisture and volatile components. Burn-off: The temperature is raised further in the presence of an oxidizing agent to combust the carbon deposits, forming CO2 and CO. Cooling: The catalyst is then cooled down to operational temperatures, ready for reuse.
