What are the Consequences of Poor Temperature Management?
Poor temperature management can lead to several issues: - Catalyst Deactivation: High temperatures can cause sintering or coking, leading to a loss of catalytic activity. - Reduced Selectivity: Uncontrolled temperatures can favor unwanted side reactions, producing undesired by-products. - Safety Hazards: Exothermic reactions can become runaway reactions if not properly controlled, posing serious safety risks. - Energy Inefficiency: Maintaining temperatures outside the optimal range can result in higher energy consumption and operational costs.
