Why is Pressure Rated Equipment Important in Catalysis?
In catalytic processes, controlling the pressure is vital to achieve the desired reaction kinetics and thermodynamics. Elevated pressures can increase the concentration of reactants, which in turn can enhance the catalyst's activity and lifespan. For instance, the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis operates at high pressures to optimize the production rate. Therefore, using pressure rated equipment ensures safety and efficiency in such high-pressure environments.
