Saint-Gobain NorPro
Uses & Applications
Hydroprocessing

Hydroprocessing ranks as the preferred upgrading process in the refining industry and includes both hydrocracking and hydrotreating applications.

 

Clean fuels standards have raised the bar in process optimization while the potential for catalyst bed fouling is present in all hydroprocessing units.  Whether you are installing new units or revamping existing units, Saint-Gobain NorPro’s products assure unmatched reliability and performance under demanding process conditions.

Bed Topping Media

Saint-Gobain NorPro’s top bed solutions provide an effective barrier against fouling and premature deactivation of the main catalyst in order to maximize unit cycle length.  In addition, they are optimized to provide lower pressure drop and improved flow distribution.

MacroTrap® Guard Bed Media

Pressure drop increase across the catalyst bed requires costly skimming operations.  MacroTrap® guard bed media alleviates this problem by removing particulates from the feed and thus, keeping catalyst beds clean and running efficiently.

Denstone® Ceramic Support Media

Denstone® bed support media are recognized as the industry standard with high crush strength and an engineered microstructure enabling it to survive rapid depressurization and thermal shock conditions. 

Catalyst Carriers

Custom catalyst carriers are developed from a broad range of materials such as alumina, titania, zirconia, silica, silicon carbide, etc., as well as various mixtures of them all.
