Enhance Reactor Performance with HTZR™ Target Tiles
Topsoe’s SynCOR™ unit incorporates a floor of zirconium-based ceramic target tiles, HTZR™, as an integral part of the reactor design. The purpose of the HTZR™ target tiles is to:
-
Act as the partition between the combustion chamber and the catalyst bed
-
Protect the catalyst from any direct impact from the open flame in the combustion chamber
-
Hold down the catalyst and keep it in place during operation
The main benefits of the HTZR™ target tiles are:
-
Increased lifetime of the tile floor
-
Reduced rate of degradation and wear of the individual tiles
-
Reduced material deposition in the catalyst bed
-
Longer runtime between catalyst skimmings with low and permissible levels of pressure drop over the catalyst bed
-
Reduced risk of any critical disintegration of the tile floor
Using Topsoe’s HTZR™ target tiles is an industrially proven solution in several units. It provides evidence that it limits material deposition in the catalyst bed, it limits build-up of pressure drop and it ensures longer lifetime and stable operation
