Various techniques are employed to inspect catalytic systems, including:
Visual Inspection: Checking for any obvious physical damage or discoloration. Analytical Methods: Techniques such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to analyze the composition of reactants and products. Temperature Profiling: Using thermocouples to monitor temperature distribution within the reactor. Pressure Drop Measurements: Assessing the pressure drop across the catalyst bed to identify any blockages or fouling.
