1. Material Selection: Using robust materials that can withstand high temperatures and harsh chemical environments. 2. Regeneration: Periodically removing fouling or reactivating poisoned catalysts. 3. Protective Coatings: Applying coatings that can protect the catalyst from mechanical and chemical wear. 4. Optimized Reactor Design: Designing reactors to minimize physical stress on catalysts. 5. Process Conditions: Operating under conditions that reduce thermal and chemical stress on the catalyst.
