Several key components in a catalytic system require regular maintenance:
1. Catalyst: The catalyst itself may need regeneration or replacement depending on its activity and selectivity. 2. Reactor: The reactor vessel and internal components such as baffles, support structures, and heat exchangers need periodic inspection. 3. Instrumentation: Sensors, gauges, and control systems must be calibrated and checked for accuracy. 4. Feed and Product Lines: Piping and valves should be inspected for corrosion or buildup that could affect flow rates and reaction conditions.
