TRICAT GUARDIAN GRADING SYSTEMS are products engineered to protect
hydroprocessing reactors from iron scale buildup, bed shift, and
maldistribution. These materials work together to trap fine particulates
and disperse coke and gum formations that lead to feed channeling
and elevated pressure drop. Guardian products are used to optimize
top-bed void space and activity grading for maximum protection,
cycle length, and reactor performance.
GUARDIAN-T5: Guardian-T5 is a high void-space, inert topping material
possessing exceptional structural strength. It offers maximum protection
against particulate collection in interstitial void spaces of lower
beds, and redistribution enhancement to prevent channeling. Guardian-T5
is ideal hold-down and topping material.
GUARDIAN-CR and GUARDIAN-NR: Guardian-CR and Guardian-NR are active
3/16" hollow cylinders in either Co/Mo or Ni/Mo active site formulations,
comparable in physical properties and activity to the industry's
most widely accepted and used materials. These products augment
Guardian-T5's particulate-trapping and redistribution capabilities.
They further add optimized HDS, HDN, and HDM activities to help
offset polymerization fouling in lower beds.
GUARDIAN-CT and GUARDIAN-NT: Guardian-CT and Guardian-NT are 1/10"
trilobe-shaped catalysts available in either Co/Mo or Ni/Mo formulations.
These quality extrudates are designed to offer all the physical
properties of fresh catalyst at regenerated catalyst prices. Guardian
trilobes are designed to deliver optimal top-bed activity, and are
an ideal part of an effective void-space grading strategy.
All GUARDIAN GRADING SYSTEMS Products are delivered with the quality,
service, and value refiners have come to expect from TRICAT, an
experienced and reliable supplier of quality catalytic materials.
