WEDGE WIRE SCALLOPS FOR CATALYTIC REFORMING

In petrochemical processes, catalytic reforming is a pivotal technology for upgrading naphtha into high-octane gasoline and valuable aromatic compounds (benzene, toluene, and xylene). It takes place inside a radial flow reactor.Within radial flow reactors used for reforming reactions, either fixed chloride-based catalyst beds or continuous regenera

Wedge wire scallops are important components of reactor internals. The scallops are manufactured from Johnson filters and have a fan-shaped cross-section, hence their name.Wedge wire scallops are positioned against the reactor wall through expander rings. The top of the scallops is sealed and the bottom is open, the lower part is open and connected
