Hydrogen Ammonia. Pressure Swing Adsorption : Regeneration, resale and recycling of adsorbents (molecular sieve, alumina, activated carbon). Dense loading.
Aromatics. Alkylation to LAB : Regeneration, presulfiding and recycling of miscellaneous catalysts.
Aromatics. Alkylation to Ethylbenzene : Regeneration and recycling of zeolite alkylation/transalkylation catalysts.
Aromatics. Alkylation to Cumene : Regeneration and recycling of zeolite alkylation/transalkylation catalysts.
Aromatics. Toluene Disproportionation : Regeneration and recycling of zeolite disproportionation catalysts.
Aromatics. Xylene Isomerisation : Regeneration and recycling of zeolite isomerisation catalysts.
Oil refining processes. Moisture removal adsorbents : Molecular sieve and alumina used in Moisture removal units are usually regenerated in-situ in swing reactors. At the end of its life, the adsorbent can be recycled according to an environment friendly solution. Dense loading of both molecular sieve and alumina.
Oil refining processes. HDS/HDT catalysts : Hydrodesulfurisation/hydrotreating catalysts represent most of the off-site regeneration market, and today, almost 100% of these catalysts are regenerated off-site in Europe. The Eurecat Rotolouvre system is very well adapted for the regeneration of these catalysts, since it allows a very smooth and homogeneous treatment.
Off-site sulfiding can be carried out with the proven SULFICAT process (off-site presulfiding) or the new TOTSUCAT process (off site activation). Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Oil refining processes. Light naphtha isomerisation catalysts : Eurecat has a wide experience in treating isomerisation catalyst and regularly carries out the activation step of these catalysts for various manufacturers. Off-site regeneration is usually the most efficient way to recover the activity of zeolite or chlorinated alumina- supported isomerization catalyst. Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Oil refining processes. Sulfur traps/Cl traps : Eurecat can offer a recycling solution for spent sulfur trap (alumina, Ni on alumina, Cu on alumina) or Cl traps (alumina, molecular sieves).
Oil refining processes. Naphtha Reforming catalysts : Eurecat offers a wide range of services on reforming catalysts used in semi regenerative units (bi or tri metallic catalysts) or CCR units (mono or bi metallic catalysts). Density grading can also be carried out on CCR catalyst to separate circulating catalyst (good catalyst) from heel (immobile) catalyst.
Oil refining processes. Hydrocracking catalysts : The off-site regeneration of Hydrocracking catalysts is usually an unavoidable step of the hydrocracking unit shut down. Eurecat is particularly well prepared to carry out turn around regenerations and especially with well tuned logistics. Eurecats process is particularly effective for zeolite supported cracking catalysts. Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Oil refining processes. Hydrodewaxing catalysts : Hydrodewaxing catalysts are successfully regenerated in Eurecat Rotolouvre ovens. The very low water partial pressure atmosphere of the Eurecat process prevents any damage on the zeolite, contrary to steam regeneration sometimes carried out, in situ.
Oil refining processes. Residue Hydrotreating (HDM/HDS) catalysts : Atmospheric and vacuum residue spent catalysts usually have a high load of metals (vanadium, nickel) deposited during the unit operation.
Oil refining processes. Sulfur recovery catalyst : The catalysts used in sulfur recovery processes can be recycled as aluminium rich raw material in industrial processes.
Oil refining processes. Tail gas catalysts : In situ sulfiding of Tail gas catalysts (CoMo) is usually difficult to achieve because sufiding reactions are difficult to control. The Eurecat TOTSUCAT process is ideally suited for this kind of application since no further activation is required. Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Steam cracking. Methanation : Reduction and recycling of nickel based catalysts.
Steam cracking. C2 Selective Hydrogenation : Regeneration, reduction and recycling of palladium based catalysts. Regeneration and Recycling of molecular sieves. Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Steam cracking. C3 Selective Hydrogenation : Regeneration, reduction and recycling of palladium based catalysts. Regeneration and recycling of molecular sieves. Dense loading using Petroval DENSICAT technology.
Steam cracking. C4 Selective Hydrogenation : Regeneration, reduction selectivation (by sulfur compounds) and recycling of palladium based catalysts.
Steam cracking. Pygas Selective Hydrogenation : Regeneration, reduction, selectivation (by sulfur compounds) and recycling of both palladium and nickel based catalysts. Regeneration, presulfiding, resale and recycling of CoMo/NiMo catalysts.
