Operated by our experienced staff, NCUT’s hydrotreating
and hydrocracking pilot plants may be used in a wide range
of testing and experimental programs in distillate hydrotreating
and hydrocracking, dealing with feedstocks ranging from
naphtha to lube oil to residue. These units have consistently generated
precise data on catalyst stability, yield distribution,
gas-make, and hydrogen consumption. They all contain
tubular reactor systems designed for testing first- and
second-stage catalyst packages under commercially
realistic conditions
For more information on these pilot plants, please contact Dr. Zbigniew Ring (780) 987-8679 (e-mail)

PP-1 |
|
|
|
|
|
This unit is capable of
on-line fractionation and recycling of unconverted products.
It is a bench-scale reactor system that
consists of two reactors, an interstage
sampler, a high-pressure separator,
a continuous distillation column, and
a stabilizer. PP-1 can be configured
to simulate the most common commercial
hydrocracker configurations, including
once-through, series-flow, two-stage,
etc. A four-zone electric furnace
heats the reactor. In addition, the reactors can be
operated in either the up- or down-flow
(trickle-flow) mode. Click

PP-12
and 13 |
|
|
|
|
|
These are pilot-scale tubular reactor
systems. Each unit consists of two reactors,
an interstage sampler, a high-pressure
separator, and a stabilizer. Both the
hydrocarbon stream and the treat gas
flow once through the system. An
eight-zone electric furnace heats the
reactor, which can be operated in either the up- or
down-flow (trickle-flow) mode. Click

PP-14 |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a micro-reactor system
that consists of one reactor and a high-pressure
separator. Gas flows once through the
system. A three-zone electric furnace
heats the reactor. Click

PP-19 |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a bench-scale reactor
system that consists of a single reactor,
a high-pressure separator, and a stabilizer.
Gas flows once through the system. PP-19
is configured to simulate a commercial
single-stage hydrocracker or hydrotreater.
A four-zone electric furnace heats the
reactor. Click
