What Types of Catalytic Processes Use Rotary Screw Compressors?
Rotary screw compressors are used in various catalytic processes, including: 1. Hydrocracking: In hydrocracking, hydrogen gas is compressed to a high pressure before being introduced into the reactor. 2. Ammonia Synthesis: The Haber process for ammonia synthesis requires a continuous supply of nitrogen and hydrogen gases at high pressures. 3. Methanol Production: Compressors are used to supply synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide) to the methanol synthesis reactor.
