ACTIVE COATING SYSTEM FOR REDUCING OR ELIMINATING COKE BUILD-UP DURING PETROCHEMICAL PROCESSES

摘要

The invention relates to an active coating for reducing or eliminating the build-up of coke deposits on a metal surface of a reactor component. The coating comprises a catalyst system and an adhesion/activation promoter. Also disclosed is a method for protecting the inner surfaces of reactor components, such as radiant tubes, fittings and reaction vessels, from coking and corrosion by coating the inner surfaces with the active coating.
