Select the WRONG statement regarding water gas shift converters.
- AInter-stage cooling is provided between the two stages of shift converters
- BUsually HTS reactor has an iron-based catalyst and LTS reactor has a copper-based catalyst
- CHTS reactor is followed by LTS reactor
- LTS reactor is followed by HTS reactor
Explanation
The standard industrial order is HTS (fast kinetics, Fe-based catalyst) followed by LTS (favorable equilibrium at low T, Cu-based catalyst) — reversing this order is the wrong statement.
