To meet the demand for services in petrochemical, ammonia, hydrogen and steel plants. Veolia has now extended the capabilities of its industrial site services (ISS) team with the introduction of the latest technologies in the UK to help manufactures reduce downtime and improve productivity.
Catalysts are used in many processing operations and their optimised operation has a direct effect on catalyst performance, production and process lifetime. The service ensures that the spent catalyst materials are safely and efficiently unloaded from the reactors, and new materials reloaded using different patented technologies. Materials can be removed from the site, treated or disposed of using our specialised facilities.
What will be the benefits?
Backed by the latest catalyst loading technology, clients will benefit from increased plant efficiencies, and enhanced safety performance. Delivered by our specialised catalyst management handing teams, the services cover catalyst change-outs for different petrochemical reactors, single or multibed, tubular reactors and primary reformer type units.
A catalyst change
The most important part of a catalyst change is the loading of new catalyst materials, which directly impacts catalyst life and reactor performance. Veolia uses the latest technology to maximise the effectiveness of these operations through accurate control of the filling procedures. As a result, the catalyst is uniformly loaded with an increased packed density that will eliminate any potential hot spots, channelling and uneven distribution during the reactor operation, and also increase the catalyst lifetime performance.
Most catalysts require unloading and reloading under inert - IDLH, N2 conditions, which avoid pyrophoric ignition, catalyst damage or corrosion or reactor shell and internals. To meet the challenging requirements of operating in these conditions, our catalyst handling teams are fully trained in confined space entry, use of breathing apparatus and have the necessary Client Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG) Safety Passport, backed by NEBOSH, IOSH Managing Safely and COSHH accreditations.
