REGENERATION OF COKED CATALYST BEDS WITH KNOWN AXIAL COKE PROFILES

Abstract

The problem of determining the distribution of coke within a fixed bed catalytic reactor has been resolved by the non-invasive technique of neutron attenuation. Use of this technique has enabled the regeneration of the catalyst bed to be studied for different known coke distributions. Temperature profiles during regeneration are compared for different initial coke distributions.
