The process of conducting a catalysis audit typically involves the following steps: 1. Preparation: Gathering relevant documents, process flowsheets, and historical performance data. 2. Field Inspection: On-site examination of the catalytic reactors, auxiliary equipment, and safety installations. 3. Interviews: Discussions with plant operators, engineers, and safety personnel to gather insights. 4. Sampling and Testing: Collection of samples for lab analysis to verify catalyst activity and stability. 5. Data Analysis: Using statistical and computational tools to analyze the gathered data. 6. Reporting: Compiling a detailed report with findings, recommendations, and action plans.
