During my experiment, I found many constrain in the operation for example reactor temperature drop and pressure. I usually heated up oil before entering into the reactor and volume flow rate is pretty low (around 5 -14ml/min) and hydrogen to oil ratio of 500 NI/I. Well, after analysis seem that HDO is work in the right spot rather than HC. Is there any specific reasons why reaction is not take place in the HC? I would appreciate it if you assist for your suggestion or comments. Thank you.
