Camet oxidation catalyst for cogeneration applications
- W.R. Grace and Co., Research Div., Columbia, MD (US)
Environmental pollution control regulations have required the use of oxidation catalysts to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons from cogeneration plants. Oxidation catalyst performance requirements include low pressure drop and high conversion efficiency. The conversion limit is controlled by external mass-transfer limitations determined by the properties of the monolith substrate. Conventional monoliths contain identical channels that pass straight through the monolith and are parallel to the flow direction. This paper discusses the conversion and pressure drop performance of a new metal monolith substrate based on a folded metal foil that is corrugated in a herringbone pattern. The external mass- transfer pressure drop performance of this type of metal monolith catalyst is compared with conventional ceramic substrate based catalysts.
