← TechnologyIn a hydrodesulfurization reactor, what risk increases when operating evaporators with high liquid levels containing dissolved salts in a refinery environment?
A)Increased catalyst bed channeling
B)Accelerated evaporator tube corrosion✓
C)Reduced hydrogen partial pressure
D)Enhanced sulfur compound conversion
💡 Explanation
High liquid levels concentrates the dissolved salts near the heating surfaces inducing the mechanism of "under-deposit corrosion" within the evaporator tubes because mass transfer limitations impede corrosion inhibitor access; therefore accelerated corrosion occurs, rather than enhanced conversion due to deactivated catalysts elsewhere.
