Continuous catalyst regeneration

Continuous catalyst regeneration

Overview

Platformers and reformers, both catalyst-based processes, require “fresh” catalyst at a given point in their cycle. To provide fresh catalyst without shutting down the process, a continuous catalyst regeneration unit can be installed. This unit regenerates the spent catalyst so that it can be used again. Maintaining the proper level in the vessel ensures that the expensive catalyst is used at the highest level of efficiency without waste.
