Other Pilot Plant Applications

Petrochemical and other processing capabilities with Gas Feed Only, Liquid Feed Only and Liquid & Gas Feed pilot plant expertise.

Intertek fixed-bed pilot plants are often used for non-hydroprocessing applications, including Gas Feed Only, Liquid Feed Only, or Liquid & Gas Feed.

Gas feed only pilot plant: 

  • Gases can be mixed by metering them individually into the pilot plant. An on-line gas chromatograph allows on-stream analysis of the feed gas mixture currently limited to refinery gas. The gas mixture can also be delivered from cylinders or tube trailer and is prepared to client’s specification. Certification of composition by third party is available. The product can either be in the gas, liquid and/or low melting solids. The on-line process gas chromatograph is also available for product analysis. Alternatively, the product gases can be collected in gas bags and analyzed off-stream. Steam tracing (120 psig max) can be used to provide uniform heating throughout the product section in case the product is solid at room temperature.

Liquid feed only pilot plant: 

  • The feed can be either liquid or low melting solid. The feed section of the pilot plant can be heated above the melting point of the solids. Steam tracing (120 psig max) is used to provide uniform heat throughout the feed section.. The liquid feed is pumped into the unit and metered either by volume using a burette or by weight using a closed feed weigh tube. The products can either be in the gas, liquid and/or solid phase. An on-line process gas chromatograph is also available for product analysis. Alternatively, the product gases can be collected in gas bags and analyzed off-stream. Steam tracing (120 psig max) can be used to provide uniform heating throughout the product section in the case that the product is solid at room temperature.

Liquid and gas pilot plant: 

  • A combination of Liquid and Gas Feeds. This reverts to conventional fixed bed pilot plants.
