Principle Of Industrial Catalyst And Classification Of Catalyst. Principle Of Industrial Catalyst : An industrial catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without undergoing any significant change in its own chemical composition. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate. They provide an alternative pathway for the reaction to take place, which requires less energy and allows the reaction to proceed at milder conditions such as lower temperatures and pressures. Industrial catalysts are used in a wide range of chemical processes, including petrochemicals, refining, polymerization, and environmental applications. Classification Of Industrial Catalyst : Industrial catalysts can be classified into four main groups: 01. Homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysts are soluble in the reaction medium and are used mainly in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. 02. Heteroge...
Tank blanketing # Tank blanketing also referred to as tank padding, is the process of applying a gas to the empty space in a storage tanks # Tank blanketing is typically involved using a buffer gas to protect products inside the storage container. #Benefits of Storage Tanks, blanketing System includes:- 1- Longer life for the product in the Tank 2- Reduced hazards like a fire hazard 3- Longer equipment life cycles. # Blanketing systems usually operate at a slightly higher than atmospheric pressure (a few inches of the water column above atmospheric), Higher pressures than this are generally not used, as they often yield only marginal increases in results while wasting large amounts of expensive blanketing gas . # The most common gas used in blanketing is nitrogen for its inert properties, availability and relatively low cost. # Tank blanketing is used fo...
