What are the Consequences of High Pipeline Resistance?
High pipeline resistance can lead to several issues in catalytic systems:
1. Pressure Drops: Significant resistance can cause pressure drops, potentially leading to incomplete reactions. 2. Reduced Efficiency: Higher energy consumption to maintain flow rates reduces overall process efficiency. 3. Operational Costs: Increased wear and tear on equipment and higher maintenance costs. 4. Safety Concerns: High resistance can lead to equipment failure or hazardous conditions if not properly managed.
