Catalytic Bed Protection Guide

ACT 065 is a catalytic bed protection material made of titania alumina with a special hollow cylinder shape containing multiple channels. This high void structure helps mitigate pressure drop buildup caused by deposits accumulating over time on catalytic beds. The ACT 065 traps out scales and solids to prevent blockages, without requiring mechanical removal. It can be used as a topping layer in liquid and vapor reactor beds for services like hydrotreating. ACT 065 has a bulk density of 0.9 kg/l, void fraction of 65%, and crush strength of 60 daN.

ACT 065
Catalytic beds protection
ACT 065 can be used to replace inert ceramic balls normally placed on the top of
catalytic beds in fixed bed units sensitive to pressure drop build up. The special shape
(hollow cylinders with multiple channels) provides high loaded void space, which helps
mitigate the side effect of insoluble solids deposition. Such deposits accumulate with
time causing blockages and can even form crusts. This effect gives a continuous rise
in bed pressure drop, impacting on hydraulic capacity, flow distribution and eventually
requiring the mechanical removal (skimming or replacing).

The ACT 065 is made from titania alumina. The special shape loads with very high
void fraction which is particularly effective in trapping out scales or solids. Normally,
the ACT 065 forms part of a size and activity graded series of layers used in the
reactor loading.

ACT 065 can be used in both liquid and vapour operations in services such as
hydrotreating and similar applications.
