With the expansion of our service portfolio to include technical reactor service, C&CS is taking another step towards full-service support for industrial customers. In addition to developing and selecting suitable catalysts and providing process-specific advice, our new partner will now also handle the professional handling directly at the reactor – reliably, efficiently and with the highest standards of safety and quality.
Reactor service from A to Z – flexible and individually adaptable
Our new service offering includes filling and emptying fixed-bed reactors, including sorting and sieving of catalysts, cleaning of reactor silos, and – on request – passivation of the reactor interior surfaces after emptying to ensure safe access. We place particular emphasis on a fast and structured process in order to minimize production interruptions.
Our repertoire also includes specialized procedures such as skimming – the targeted removal of individual catalyst layers for analysis or refilling. We use modern technical aids to ensure uniform layer distributions and to minimize mechanical stress on the catalysts.
Handling under inert gas, dust-free and efficient
For air-sensitive materials, we offer loading and unloading under an inert gas atmosphere. Our experienced team also masters dust-free catalyst handling – a crucial aspect for occupational safety and plant availability.
For particularly homogeneous fills, our Dense Loading System can be used upon request. This allows us to achieve an optimized bed structure that reduces pressure drops, avoids hot spots, and stabilizes reactor operation in the long term.
Wet Dumping? No problem.
We have also developed suitable processes and equipment for special requirements such as wet dumping – the safe removal of catalyst while simultaneously rinsing with liquid – to guarantee safety and efficiency at all times.
Your complete package from a single source
With this expanded range of services, we are closing the last gap in the process chain. C&CS now offers you comprehensive support for reactor operation. From design and material procurement, through filling and emptying, to reconditioning or professional recycling of used catalysts. This not only saves time and interfaces, but also increases the predictability and operational reliability of your process.
Whether it’s a turnaround, an emergency, or regular refilling – contact us. Together we’ll develop the right solution for your system.
