Refinery Industry Solutions
Catalyst Carrier & Purification Carbon
Activated carbon plays a crucial role in the refinery industry as a catalyst carrier and purification agent. Our coconut shell-based carbon provides the ideal microporous structure for these demanding applications.
Applications
- Hydrocarbon Sweetening: Removal of sulfur compounds from hydrocarbons
- Field Condensate: Purification of condensate streams
- Catalyst Support: High surface area support for catalytic processes
- Mercury Removal: Capture of mercury from gas and liquid streams
- Amine Purification: Removal of degradation products from amine solutions
- Lube Oil Refining: Color and impurity removal from lubricating oils
Key Advantages
- Exceptional mechanical strength for demanding environments
- High density for maximum bed utilization
- Uniform particle size for consistent flow distribution
- Low dust generation reduces downstream contamination
