Advanced Filtration System

UNICAT Catalyst’s grading series are uniquely shaped, high alumina inert filtration grading disks. These disks have been designed and optimized to mitigate pressure drop problems due to the build-up of various foulants in the grading and top catalyst layers of hydrotreating reactors and other fixed bed units. AFS grading solutions have been successfully installed in more than 500 applications. Innovation in design The Next Generation of AFS has optimized uniform flow channels, ...

Crystaphase, there is no magic behind reactor performance

It’s not magic. It’s science. Hydroprocessors know the wall that lies between them and peak reactor performance. Fouling, pressure drop, precipitation, agglomeration, polymerization, and catalyst deactivation, these obstacles build up, block by block. We help you break through that wall, clearing your path to performance. With highly specialized expertise and unique, industry-proven solutions, Crystaphase has helped refiners all over the world achieve unprecedented ...

Customized grading solutions for your feedstock

Match your catalyst grading to your feedstock for minimum pressure drop build-up and maximum demetallization. As today’s opportunity crudes and heavier feedstocks become more economically viable, the oil fractions you refine are posing new challenges. Creating the optimal grading solution for your individual feedstock is essential to minimize pressure drop build-up, increase metals pick-up, and reduce downtime and catalyst replacement. An overlooked advantage The importance ...

DuraTop® und DuraFlow - Inert Covering Material and Pressure Drop-Reducer

DuraTop® and DuraFlow are used for the covering of catalyst and catalyst carriers (Duranit® inert balls) and are applied to the upper ball layers. In addition, it is possible to apply the two Pressure Drop-Reducer at different levels of the catalyst support bed or even to replace the upper spherical layers in an energy-saving manner. DuraTop® and DuraFlow are of course available in different sizes. In addition these products offer the following advantages: - Good pre-distribution ...

Maximize the value of your naphtha feedstocks and downstream processes

New solutions for changing needs Lighten the burden of heavy feedstocks with Topsoe catalysts, process designs and technologies. If your refinery is like most, you’re under pressure to squeeze more value out of heavier feedstocks, and this presents new challenges for catalysts. To name just one example, increasing use of coker feedstocks has led to higher silica and nitrogen levels in the naphtha streams, requiring catalysts with superior HDN activity and greater surface ...

Optimised Pressure Swing Adsorption

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a well-established gas separation process in hydrogen purification, helium purification and air separation among others. In addition to engineering, the adsorbents selected and employed in the PSA process are extremely important in determining the performance of a PSA unit. Loading Diagram There are a significant number of contaminants that require removal from a standard gas stream. Different layers of adsorbents are commonly used to remove ...

VSP® V High performance tower packing with lowest pressure drop

The VSP-V is the updated version of VFF’s world wide known random packing VSP. The VSP-V offers high performance in plastic with top mass transfer and lowest pressure drop and is easy to handle during column loading and emptying.
