ITW Technologies

ITW Technologies

ITW was founded in 1999 by transformation of MEG S.r.l., a company operating in the field of applied research, to implement the technologies developed by MEG and used in various industrial sectors. All ITW technologies are covered by various patents. Among the patents owned by ITW include those that are of interest in the field of refining and petrochemicals. At the very beginning, MEG philosophy has been to license out the technologies to companies operating in the refining and petrochemical industry. However, given our advanced and unique technologies, ITW determined to expand the business by directly providing the turnkey application of the technologies.

Hybrid catalyst loading reduces fill cost and carbon footprint

Hybrid catalyst loading reduces fill cost and carbon footprint

Using rejuvenated catalyst in a hybrid load significantly lowers fill cost and CO2 footprint while providing the performance advantages of latest generation fresh catalyst.When faced with the task of selecting catalysts for an upcoming hydrotreater turnaround, refiners usually consider replacement with either fresh catalyst or regenerated/rejuvenated catalyst. When the anticipated feedstock, treating severity, and cycle length requirements are unchanged from the current cycle, refilling the catalyst with regenerated or rejuvenated catalyst is a good option......
