Mitigating hot spots involves multiple strategies: 1. Improved Reactor Design: Enhancing reactor design to ensure better mixing and heat distribution can prevent hot spot formation. 2. Efficient Cooling Systems: Implementing efficient cooling systems to remove excess heat can help maintain uniform temperatures. 3. Catalyst Selection: Choosing catalysts with high thermal conductivity and stability can reduce the likelihood of hot spots. 4. Distributed Catalysis: Utilizing a distributed catalyst bed rather than a concentrated one can help in even heat distribution.
