Hydrogenation
Heating oil to converter temperature, and cooling the hardened product that comes out.
Recommended type
Fully Welded Plate & Frame Heat Exchanger
The reaction itself belongs to the converter; the plate duties are the heat into it and the heat out of it. Nickel catalyst fines carried in the product stream are what decide the channel and the cleaning regime on the cooling side. Viton on any gasketed stage, because converter temperature and hot hardened oil together are more than a nitrile compound will take.
