Catalyst Reactors in Oil Refinery and Chemical plants are essential components. Which one suites you the best to maximize margins and profits however requires special expertise.

All catalyst reactors perform miracles. But which catalyst will give you the highest operating margin over its useful life?
It all comes down to three intrinsic catalyst properties: Activity, Selectivity and Stability. Catalyst Intelligence is your partner in selecting the right catalyst. Here is our step by step approach.

Step 1: Unit monitoring
For existing units the first step is unit monitoring. What level of performance do you get from the current catalyst? Are you satisfied with current performance?

Step 2: What do you want to improve during the next cycle?
What are your future performance targets? Knowing these, we can focus on finding the optimal solution.

Step 3: Develop scenario’s
The future is uncertain. What expectations do you have? It is advisable to develop several scenario’s and request proposals that will give you the optimal performance in any situation. Define your unit constraints, feedstock properties, and processing objectives in detail and your RFQ is ready to go.

Step 4: Evaluate proposals
The answers to your RFQ have come in. How do you evaluate them? Price is not the determining factor. The evaluation comes back to Activity, Selectivity and Stability and how these catalyst properties will affect the operating margin over the cycle.

Step 5: To test or not to test
Technical forecasts are usually based on estimates. We recommend side-by-side testing of catalysts at an independent test laboratory to verify the accuracy of the estimates.

Step 6: Decide
Your investment must add value to your business. Therefore, your final decision is a joint effort by management, planning, purchasing and operations. Catalyst Intelligence can help you get the relevant data for an objective analysis and an informed-decision.

Need more help? The specialists from Catalyst Intelligence are independent and they stand ready to assist you with a structured catalyst selection process or any other unit optimization project. They have worked in refineries and at catalyst producers all over the world so they know what proven catalyst solutions are available and how to test new solutions before application.
