The Tech Inc. Fixed-Bed Catalyst Test Unit tests catalysts under controlled pressure, temperature and feed conditions in a tubular fixed-bed reactor. Refinery and petrochemical R&D centres use it to screen catalysts, measure activity and selectivity, and study ageing before scale-up. Micro-activity test (MAT) units for FCC catalysts and continuous fixed-bed units are built on the same platform.
Main components
- Gas feed panel with mass flow controllers
- Liquid feed pump and preheater
- Tubular fixed-bed reactor in a split-tube furnace with multipoint thermocouples
- Back-pressure regulator and gas–liquid separator
- Sampling valve for online GC analysis
- PLC and SCADA with recipe control, safety interlocks and data logging
Applications: hydroprocessing, FCC, reforming and isomerisation catalyst testing, petrochemical and fine-chemical catalysis, CO2 conversion and university catalysis research.
