Increasing catalyst performance and productivity using Mass Flow Meter (MFM) and Mass Flow Controller (MFC)
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. It is not consumed in reactions and remain unchanged after the reaction. The use of catalysts began in the 18th century and continues to this day. The catalytic effects eventually led to the awarding of two Nobel Prizes at the beginning of the 20th century.
Catalysts are divided into homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymes. Catalysts are widely used in oil, medicine, petrochemical, polymer, vehicles, and …
One of the direct sources of pollution is combustion engines, especially car engines, which emit carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitric oxide (NOx), and small amounts of sulfur oxide (SOx), lead (Pb) and Particles. have produced and created non-negligible risks that to control and reduce such pollution, they use catalytic converters, which include two-way, three-way and four-way catalytic converters, and Car manufacturers put in cars according to the requirements of the law. The catalyst in the exhaust consists of three main parts:
the catalyst coating, the oxide layer, and the core.
In the absence of flowmeter and flow controller, the process of making and testing catalysts is impossible. In the following, some of the requirements for the existence of a flowmeter and flow controller are briefly stated:
• In the process of testing and simulating catalysts : In checking the performance of the catalyst, whose activity and stability is one of its most important properties, it is only possible with a flow meter (MFM) and a mass flow controller (MFC).
• The stability and service life of catalysts are tested using micro-reactors (catatest) and the control and display of incoming and outgoing gases (CO2 − O2 − N2 − NO) are essential. The most crucial function in catatest Is Mass Flow Meter (MFM) Mass Flow Controller (MFC) and flow regulator equipment; it is impossible to test without this equipment.
• Physical and chemical analysis and evaluation methods of catalysts, which includes 10 steps, including Accelerated AGING Catalyst, Light off, and MFC test. Using equipment like a Mass Flow Meter (MFM), Mass Flow Controller (MFC), and flow regulator is crucial in certain cases of analysis methods. These tools can directly and specifically improve the final catalyst in eight different applications. It’s important to recognize the value of these instruments and incorporate them into our analysis processes for optimal results.
