    Reactor internals

    Unlock the full potential of your hydroprocessing unit with our diverse reactor internals portfolio.

    Reactor internals that set industry standard

    Radials and pressure drop can be detrimental to hydroprocessing unit performance. It can lead to shorter cycle lengths and longer turnarounds – both of which eat into refinery profits. 

    Our reactor internals will ensure the best possible conditions for the catalytic reactions in your reactor. They are designed to fit any reactor configuration, providing top-class performance and reliability. They are engineered to optimize filtration, mixing, and distribution, ensuring safe and fast access to catalyst beds during turnarounds and keeping your operation running at peak efficiency.

     

    Reactor internals benefits:

    1. Superior performance: Optimal flow distribution, minimized pressure drop, extended catalyst life and more profitable cycles.

    2. Operational reliability: Robust and high-quality designs guarantee long service life and reduced maintenance, even under demanding conditions.

    3. Expert partnership: Our specialists work closely with you to provide technical guidance and support from initial evaluation to installation and beyond.

    4. Ongoing innovation: We continuously develop our portfolio of reactor internals to meet the evolving needs of your refinery.


    When should you consider upgrading your reactor internals?

    Increased pressure drop, uneven flow distribution, shorter cycle lengths or cumbersome maintenance, are all signs that it is time for you to consider an upgrade of your reactor internals.

    Our team can help you evaluate your current internals, identify opportunities for improvement, and guide you seamlessly through every step of the upgrade process. We help you assess your current setup, draft an economic evaluation, and ensure smooth, timely execution, so you can focus on what matters most: maximizing your refinery’s output.

    topsoe_scale_catcher

    Scale catcher

    A common problem in hydroprocessing reactors, is pressure drop build-up caused by various particles plugging the catalyst bed.
    17_topsoe_redistribution_tray

    Distributor tray

    Our Vapor Lift Distributor Tray (VLT) ensures uniform distribution of liquid and gas over the entire cross section area of the catalyst bed.
    topsoe_quench_mixer

    Quench mixer

    Our Quench Mixer ensures efficient mixing of catalyst bed effluents from both above and from the cold quench stream.
    topsoe_cat_support

    Catalyst support

    Our Catalyst Support is designed to support the combined weight of the catalyst, support material and oil. It can also withstand pressure drop over the catalyst bed during the entire catalyst ...
    Topsoe outlet collector

    Outlet collector

    Our Outlet Collector ensures even flow distribution in the bottom bed to maximize catalyst utilization and prevents bed migration to downstream piping and equipment.
