Description

The use of methane addition to the CO2 coolant of CAGRs, as a sacrificial inhibitor of graphite corrosion, and the consequential need for a drier plant, is discussed. Some details are given under the headings: CAGR drier plant; requirements of the desiccant; mechanism controlling the rate of adsorption; selection of a mathematical model; and results (comparison of theoretical and experimental data; prediction of CAGR drier bed behaviour). (U.K.)
