Method of Preventing Fluidization of Catalyst Fixed Beds in Tubular Up-Flow Reactor of Steam Methane Reformer

摘要

The present invention provides a method for preventing fluidization of a fixed bed of catalyst present in a tubular reactor operated in an up-flow configuration by estimating the residual pressure drop margin prior to fluidization of the catalyst bed and adjusting the reactant gas flow in response thereto. it's about how The present invention also provides a method for safely operating a furnace suitable for carrying out an endothermic reaction comprising a plurality of catalyst fixed bed reactors operated in an up-flow configuration, and a catalyst fixed bed comprising a gas flowing in an up-flow direction. A method for safely bottlenecking a reactor is provided.
