Hydrotreating

The key to optimizing a hydroprocessing unit is to maximize the life of the catalyst bed and increase energy efficiency of the furnaces. Our goal is to eliminate fouling of the catalyst bed by particles and aqueous fluids and the dissolved components within them as well as fouling of hydrogen recovery membranes and furnace-burner tips.

In working with many refineries to optimize their hydroprocessing systems, Pentair found several areas which were detrimental to effective optimization of the system:

Fouling of catalyst bed by particles
Fouling of catalyst bed by aqueous fluids and the dissolved components within them
Fouling of hydrogen recovery membranes
Fouling of furnace burner-tips

Liquid/Liquid - LiquiSep

LiquiSep technology has been implemented specifically to help separate emulsions that are not separable by conventional coalescers. Conventional coalescers are unable to provide the degree clarity associated with LiquiSep technology due to the inability to capture and remove the most penetrating droplets that cause carry-over. LiquiSep can separate these dispersed and emulsified droplets from the hydrocarbon to practically non-detectable levels.

Gas/Liquid - UltiSep

UltiSep technology was developed to address the inherent deficiencies of the conventional gas-liquid separators, making it possible to effectively remove liquid aerosols from gas streams. UltiSep® flows from the inside-to-the-outside, reducing the gas velocity as the droplets are being removed.

Particle/Liquid - ProcessOR

The ProcessOR is a superior separator vessel often used for particle/liquid filtration or separation. It is available to be delivered as a self-contained skid (pictured) or a stand-alone vessel. It is also available custom sized as a capital sale or as a turn-key rental, which is often available within days of the received order.

Compax

Compared to conventional cartridge filters, COMPAX saves you money by lowering operating costs and reducing disposal costs. When comparing filters with the same efficiencies or Beta ratings, nothing outperforms the cost/performance value achieved with COMPAX.

APEX

The Apex element is specifically intended to keep annular velocities constant across the entire height of the element. This is accomplished by introducing a gentle taper in the element, so that the annular space on the outside of the element gradually increased from the bottom to top, keeping pace with the external fluid flow as it exited the element.

V-MAX

V-MAX is a coreless filter that flows from the inside-to-outside like a bag filter but V-MAX technology can offer the same online life as a bag filter in a vessel that is roughly half the diameter. This is possible since the V-MAX design offers up to ten times the available filtration media in the same element envelope.
