Dense loading of adsorbents
The technology of dense loading has much more advantages than a usual loading of adsorbents and catalysts. Loading is made under supervision of skilled technicians of our company with the help of special loading unit. This unit is used to make up the adsorbent bed in the adsorber which is homogeneous in its physical-mechanical (Bulk density, porosity) and hydrodynamic properties (penetrability for filter stream, hydrodynamic resistance). Besides even loading of adsorbent reduces rising of pressure drop during cycle length.
So dense loading of the catalysts increases a cycle length and economic efficiency of the technological units.
According to our technology adsorbent loading is made by a special loading unit.
Even distribution of the particles is achieved by changing of the inlet air pressure or inert gas. Its value depends on loading density, adsorber size and loading feed.
The loading unit is put inside the adsorber with the help of special fasteners.
It is necessary to have the source of process air or inert gas for operation of loading unit on upper area of the adsorber. The pressure in the system of technical air or inert gas should be 0,2 – 0,6 МPa.
A loading storage hopper is put on the upper part of the adsorber and it is constantly filled by adsorbents. A hoist is used to feed adsorbents into the storage hopper.
Such technology successfully used in Bashneft 2019 year – bulk density is increased up to 12%;
Due to this technology we have got good results of performance of our products.For example, at Bashneft PSA Hydrogen recovery unit, after treatment of our adsorbents, the purity of Hydrogen is up to 99.99%; the hydrogen recovery rate is up to 90.1%.
