FOR INCREASING CAPACITY AND EFFICIENCY OF YOUR RADIAL FLOW REACTORS

A SYSTEM ANSWERING THE MOST STRINGENT DEMANDS OF THE REFINING PROCESSES

With radial flow reactor system, a protection cover must be placed on the upper surface of the catalyst fixed bed in order to avoid turbulences produced by the flow of gaseous reactants coming from the reactor entrance. It also limits the by-pass of the catalyst upper part and avoids important losses of yields and of activity.

CALYROOF® is made of a robust and durable material, non-carcinogenic, preserving the vessel environment regulations and protecting health of your operators. Indeed, CALYROOF® technology presents large advantages compared to other solutions like non-re-usable soft tissue covers.

CALYROOF® gives satisfactory answers to those challenges and appears extremely efficient when a settling or a lift up of the catalyst bed occur. The mobility of the system allows to adapt easily to all sizes of reactors. This simple device can be rapidly deployed on top of the catalyst bed. As this is a gas tight surface, there is no need to add expensive extra load of catalyst on top or to install complex systems such as vertical baffles inside catalyst, interfering with the entering gas flow.

CALYROOF® can very advantageously be associated with the Homogeneous Dense Loading process® operated with CALYDENS®, which, from its precise loading principle of “by-zone-distribution”, can very accurately help to operate in spaces uneasy to reach like around the vessel hat.
