Reactor Internals Untapped Potential
Discover How a State-Owned Oil Company Increased Loaded Catalysts Volume by 19% Without an Increase in Total Reactor Volume
The Diagnosis
There are a few important indicators that signal a failure to capture maximum value from a hydroprocessing unit or fixed-bed catalytic reactor:
- Fouling
- High-pressure drop
- Thermal maldistribution
- Shorter than expected cycle length
Leveraging Shell hardware and a holistic technology solutions approach, Reactor Internals have the ability to:
- Increase cycle life
- Process higher-margin feeds
- Improve product quality and yields
- Enhance safety
