Designing for Optimal Heat Transfer

The Key to Controlling Exothermic Reactions

In chemical processes, precise heat transfer plays a pivotal role in reaction performance. Rapid and accurate heat withdrawal is critical to reducing hot spot temperatures, effectively mitigating risks such as bed temperature “fly-up,” catalyst sintering, or inactivation. These challenges can significantly impact the reaction’s conversion rate and selectivity.

ATHCO’s innovative approach ensures:

  • Efficient heat removal to stabilize reaction conditions.
  • Enhanced catalyst performance by preventing damage caused by overheating.
  • Increased process reliability and selectivity, maximizing overall efficiency.
