What are Common Preventive Maintenance Activities?
Several activities fall under preventive maintenance for catalysis, including:
Inspection: Regular visual and instrumental inspections to detect physical damage or signs of deactivation. Cleaning: Removing deposits and contaminants that can foul the catalyst surface. Regeneration: Periodic treatments to restore the activity of the catalyst, such as thermal regeneration or chemical washing. Replacement: Timely replacement of catalysts that have reached the end of their useful life. Analysis: Regular performance testing and analysis to monitor catalyst efficiency and detect early signs of degradation.
