#Dense_loading is a technology for improving catalyst performance in fixed bed catalytic process units. It is commonly used throughout the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries and involves distributing the catalyst in such a way as to uniformly increase its packed density. Decades of research provide overwhelming evidence that good dense loading can improve the performance of the reactor through reducing void fraction within the fixed catalyst bed. This can lead to improved liquid and gas distribution, higher throughput rates and improved bed stability. In comparison, sock loading, which involves catalyst being distributed from a length of sock attached to a feed hopper, has a tendency to create void spaces more likely to result in flow maldistribution and bed settling during run. Reduced throughput and increasing pressure drop across the reactor are a direct consequence

These membranes allow specific gases to pass through while blocking others, facilitating applications such as gas purification, natural gas processing, and carbon capture for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes. ✅𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰:  Schlumberger Oil Field Svcs Ltd  DIC Corporation  Parker Hannifin  Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) , Inc  Evonik Industries AG Procurement Building  Atlas Copco AB GENERON LLC. #GasSeparationMembranes #MembraneTechnology #GasSeparation #MembraneSeparation #GasSeparationSystems #MembraneFiltration #IndustrialMembranes #GasPermeation #SeparationProcesses #GasPurification #MembraneMaterials #AdvancedSeparation #MembraneApplications #GasIndustry #CleanEnergySolutions

Let's talk about how Altiras Labs can optimize your distillation process!

A tail gas treater at a refinery, utilizing MDEA, encountered a decline in its ability to treat H2S, and this deterioration remained unexplained. Figure 1 provides a summary of the fundamental flowsheet along with operating data from January 15, 2004. Despite examining lean amine samples from the inlet and outlet of the lean/rich exchanger, no evidence of a leak was found. Gamma scans of both the absorber and regenerator towers affirmed the satisfactory hydraulic performance of the internals. Subsequent troubleshooting efforts were conducted in collaboration with process simulation using ProTreat. For more information about the case study read Optimized Gas Treating, Inc.'s article on "Contamination of a Treating Solution with Caustic Soda Part 1: Analyzing the Problem" #ProTreat
