A catalyst support grid is a strong grid that carries the catalyst bed in hydrogenation and hydrocracking reactors.
A strong grid at the bottom of a reactor that carries the weight of the catalyst, while the fluid flows through.
Choose This Product When
- You need to support a catalyst bed
- You are building or revamping a hydrogenation reactor
Product Description
The catalyst support grid carries the weight of the catalyst bed in a hydrogenation reactor.
It is one of the main hydroprocessing reactor internals.
How It Works
The grid sits at the bottom of a catalyst bed. It is usually covered with wire mesh or screens and a layer of inert balls, so it carries the full weight of the catalyst while the process fluids pass down to the next bed or the outlet.
Applications
- Hydrogenation and hydrocracking reactors
Often Used in These Industries
Features
- Made to order for each reactor
