Comparing the Flow Behaviour of FCC Catalysts using the FT4 Powder Rheometer
In this study, FCC catalysts with differing fines content, were characterised using the FT4 Powder Rheometer with the aim of understanding the observed variation in process behaviour, in particular, the propensity of some powders to form weakly bound clusters, which influence the entrainment rate due to differences in the aerodynamic properties compared with independent particles.
