Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of catalysts and reactors. Recommended practices include:
Regular Inspections: Conduct routine checks for signs of deactivation, fouling, or mechanical damage. Regeneration: Implement regeneration protocols to restore catalyst activity. Techniques include thermal treatment, chemical washing, and oxidative regeneration. Replacement: Schedule timely replacement of spent catalysts to avoid process inefficiencies. Cleaning: Regular cleaning of reactor internals and ancillary equipment to prevent contamination and buildup of by-products.
