What Are Common Pitfalls During Catalyst Installation?
Several common mistakes can occur during the installation process:
- Uneven Loading: Inconsistent loading can lead to channeling or hotspots, which can significantly reduce the catalyst's efficacy. - Contamination: Introducing contaminants during installation can poison the catalyst, rendering it ineffective. - Mechanical Damage: Physical damage to the catalyst during handling or loading can lead to reduced surface area and activity.
