Purification Absorbents

We provide process designs and a general arrangement showing supports and internals needed for new vessels. The majority of designs are for axial flow reactors but we can also design for other types such as radial flow reactors, if for instance, there is a limitation on pressure drop. For existing vessels, we provide a design review based on proven DURAGUARD™ performance. The only parameters required to design the vessel are stream composition and properties, operating conditions and any limitations on floor space/height.

DURAGUARD™ absorbent is supplied in packaging suitable to the requirements of the plant, for example UN approved 1,000 kg bags with lifting lugs in Octoboxes or UN approved 205 L (55 gallon) drums. We provide advice on loading techniques and absorbent handling based on each specific vessel, including on-site assistance by one of our experience team members, if required.

Our engineers review operating data, including process flows and impurity (H₂S or Hg) levels in both the inlet and exit streams. We can predict bed life remaining which will ensure optimum absorbent use.

We support with sample analysis of DURAGUARD^TM absorbent, providing reassurance that the bed has performed as expected.

We provide advice on vessel preparation prior to discharge and recommend discharge method for the absorbent bed. During discharge, we provide on-site support from one of our experienced team members to assist with the process.

We can manage every step of the reprocessing route from discharge, analysis, safety data sheets, permit applications and transport, through to providing a certificate of recycling.
