Background

  • Catalysis has significantly increased the viability of

many industrial processes and continues to permit industry to sustainably meet the ever increasing demands for different industrial products.

  • By definition catalysis involves an agent promoting a

chemical reaction, without being consumed by the reaction itself.

  • The use of catalysts has grown to be an indispensable

part of modern industry, in fact catalysis is presently employed in about 90% of all commercially produced chemical products.

  • Despite the fact that the catalyst is not consumed in the

reactions, in the continuous industrial processes, phenomena of catalyst surface poisoning and surface area impairment are observed, giving rise to the need for catalyst handling services.

Safety Aspects

  • Catalyst

handling is a highly specialized science that requires very specialized skills and equipment with adherence to highly strict safety, health and environmental requirements and procedures.

  • With the correct partner, manufacturers may be

assured of peace of mind even as the delicate tasks are performed.

slide-11

Quality Aspects

  • Quality monitoring, control and assurance take

centre stage in all Dickinson Group

  • f

Companies' activities. Strict quality controls are observed. We aim at zero error and satisfying our client.

  • Use of state of the art industrial vacuumation

and screening equipment to meet the technical needs of this specialized catalyst unloading, screening and loading service.

  • With all its equipment, experienced, trained and

specialized manpower, the client is assured of a professional and timely job delivery.

Catalyst Unloading

  • Through

excellent project planning, monitoring, control, communication, coordination and management, Dickinson Group of Companies ensures that catalyst layers are separated according to age and (or) type without cross contamination, harm to personnel and endangering the convertor structural integrity.

  • Special

barriers are constructed inside convertors for personnel movements while vacuuming to avoid catalyst damage. Vacuumation suction pressure and catalyst velocity are also carefully controled by our team of experts to avoid catalyst breakage. In addition the team ensures that all ceramic ball layers are vacuumed separate from the catalyst.

Catalyst Screening and Materials Handling

  • Catalyst

screening eliminates process dust, catalyst fines and small catalyst particles that are generated over time and tend to affect catalyst reaction surface area as well as

  • ther

process parameters.

  • The

Screening is considered a critical factor to the success of an entire catalyst handling job as catalysts may easily be damaged by errors in the choice of equipment

  • r settings.
  • Our highly competent technical and

field teams have successfully conducted several screening campaigns.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Catalyst Screening and Materials Handling

  • Plant data is collected prior to the works and proper

screens mesh selection is done

  • ffsite.

Continuous monitoring of screening conditions is observed in order to consistently ensure quality in every bag or drum.

  • The team ensures that accumulations in the divisional

plates under the grids are removed completely from pass to pass. Where meshes are employed, their condition is also closely and continuously monitored

  • Misplacement of bags or drums may have detrimental

effects, as such, every screened or collected catalyst bag

  • r drum from the different passes and layers of the

convertor is well labelled and stored/stacked in well- defined locations.

Catalyst Loading

  • Dickinson Group of Companies performs both sock

and dense catalyst loading. Like in every other stage

  • f the catalyst handling process, quality assurance is

given a critical attention.

  • Given the hygroscopic nature of catalysts, exposure

to the environment is minimized at all costs..

Catalyst Loading

  • Throughout the loading process, an even distribution
  • f

ceramic balls and catalysts

  • n

each bed in accordance with the loading diagram is closely monitored and ensured.

  • The

loading team puts in place all necessary measures to minimize catalyst breakages, channeling and high pressure drops due to loading errors.
