Hydroprocessing unit operators know every particle added to the feed process increases pressure drop and takes away from cycle length. The result is unplanned shutdown time, reduced cycle time and a financial loss that can often creep into millions of dollars a year. To mitigate this risk, operators seek ways to make the most of existing plant equipment by integrating new, more efficient technologies. The ideal solution is one that can maximize existing space and provide the best benefit. To better help customers achieve this goal, Crystaphase and Honeywell UOP are integrating market-leading technologies that can enable processing heavier feeds, longer operations, extended time between turnarounds, and help inter-cycle skimming.
