Saint-Gobain NorPro
Oil Refining

A major challenge for oil refiners is to maximize production of clean fuels in an economical manner while also meeting increasingly stringent environmental mandates. 

 

Saint-Gobain NorPro has an impressive history and extensive experience in furnishing a total package of high-technology ceramic products that help the refiner achieve their clean fuel goals by allowing better and longer operation of processing units. 

 

Pressure drop problems contribute to costly reactor shut down, skimming and restart.  NorPro® products provide protection from plugging and contamination, insuring longer catalyst life and improved pressure drop.

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

MacroTrap® guard bed media provide an effective barrier against catalyst fouling helping to keep your reactor up and running.

Denstone® Ceramic Support Media

Denstone® brand bed support media provide for long service life and reliable operation.  Denstone bed support media will not plug or contaminate catalyst beds and will withstand extreme thermal shock without breaking.
