Reactor internals revamp scenario

Many refiners are operating below their normal throughput and running equipment far away from their design points, which can expose or cause unit operation issues including:

• Radial maldistribution
• Channelling of liquid flow
• Pressure drop limitations

Further challenges include fouling and shifting from crude oil towards petrochemicals.

Shell’s latest-generation reactor internals are designed to resolve these issues for relatively low capital expenditure. Read the reactor internals revamp scenario to find out how: 

• PKN ORLEN's Plock refinery eliminated pressure-drop limitations
• BP-Husky Toledo refinery unlocked high performance from its ageing hydrocracker
• SASREF increased diesel yield, cycle length, and safety with a low-cost hydrocracker revamp
• Petrobras moved to ULSD without having to invest in additional reactors or equipment
• Preem increased its hydrocracker's diesel yield and eliminated thermal maldistribution
