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). |
 |
These catalysts are very sensitive to contaminants
and rough operating conditions, and sometimes can be irreversibly
damaged. Only thorough lab analyses can show whether a given catalyst
batch can be regenerated successfully. Once the regenerability
of a batch is proven, the regeneration is carried out in a contaminant
free unit. The Eurecat process which includes a carbon burn-off and
oxychlorination
is reliable and the experience has shown that in some cases, the activity
of the regenerated catalyst is higher or equal to the activity of
the corresponding fresh catalyst. The catalyst can also be reduced
under hydrogen atmosphere to shorten the activation time. Hydrogen
reduction can also be offered on fresh catalysts. |

Density
grading can also be carried out on CCR catalyst to separate circulating
catalyst (good catalyst) from heel (immobile) catalyst. |
