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...
#Poor quality steam refers to high moisture content, Steam is best when superheated. From the perspective of Process Design Engineering, we assume that even saturated steam is dry. *In reality, steam in most process plant piping systems is wet. Often steam is wet because of ambient heat loss. *Dry steam is actually invisible. Steam venting from a line only looks white because the steam is wet. *Wet steam is generated from boilers because of entrainment of BFW into the evolved steam. *Entrained boiler feed water contains salts. The TDS of the entrained water is the same as the boiler blowdown *Salt content of the blowdown water is 10-20 times > the salt content of the boiler feedwater. That’s why moisture in steam due to entrainment is more serious than moisture in steam due to condensation. Condensed moisture is free of salts. ️*For Steam Turbines Moisture in the supply steam contains salts. The salts slowly accumulate on the ...
