Operating at lower temperatures can reduce a refinery’s operating costs significantly, but low operating temperatures negatively affect the saturation capabilities of traditional zinc oxide sulfur absorbents.
Able to remove hydrogen sulfide and other sulfurous compounds at temperatures below 150°C (300°F), Topsoe’s sulfur guards protect your downstream catalysts and ensure pipeline specifications, while helping you reduce operating costs. Our guards provide very high sulfur capacity and long life cycles, and are cost-effective and easy to install and operate under a wide range of conditions

Catalyst Loading
All plants – even those with lots of turnaround experience – can run into trouble during loading. When a problem occurs, it can lead to longer turnarounds and, in the worst case, result in an underperforming catalyst. That makes proper loading an important step in profitable plant operation. Topsoe... - Services

Plant Assessment / Optimization
Refineries and chemical plants are complex and vulnerable to changes over time. These changes can degrade performance and impact negatively on day-to-day operations and, ultimately, your bottom line. Whether you choose a catalyst performance evaluation or full-scale process and catalyst... - Services
Sampling & Analysis
As a general rule, the more you know about a plant or unit’s operating conditions, the better you’ll be able to keep performance, cost-efficiency and profits high. Our Sampling & Analysis service is your direct route to the detailed insight it takes to make better decisions. During start-ups... - Services
Start-up & Reduction / Activation
Starting up your plant or unit is a complicated and time-consuming procedure that involves monitoring numerous parameters and ensuring the right start-up sequencing. If not performed correctly, it can result in delays or even damage to your catalysts, unit or plant. Our Start-up & Reduction/... - Services
Troubleshooting
Catalysts and processes normally operate smoothly, yet suboptimal performance can occur from time to time. Since most issues have multiple root causes – usually originating in external factors – the process of solving an issue can be difficult and complex. Our Troubleshooting service draws on the...
