What are the Challenges in Managing Volumetric Flow?
One of the primary challenges in managing volumetric flow in catalysis is maintaining a consistent flow rate in the presence of fluctuating process conditions. Variations in temperature, pressure, and fluid composition can impact the flow rate. Additionally, ensuring uniform distribution of flow across the catalyst bed is crucial to avoid hotspots and ensure even utilization of the catalyst. Advanced process control strategies and reactor design improvements can help mitigate these challenges.
