Porous top layer media
Catalyst top layer media
Porous top layer media
Increasing the inner surface area and therefore creating more void space is primarily the reason for developing alumina based porous metals. The top layer media which protect catalyst has the capacity to capture catalyst poison, where standard inert top layers do not apply for applications like hydrodesulfurization and naphtha hydrocracking. With its ability to reduce pressure drop and a very high void fraction, the porous top layer media is the solution for a longer lasting extension of precious metals in the catalyst.
With a wide product range, such as Macro Por® high porosity top
layer rings, the Rest-O-Por® high porosity top layer rings and high porosity spheres, MTE is able to produce tailor made top layers on request.
Benefits
- Reduce pressure drop built-up
- Capture particles from feed stream
- Trap soluble iron
- Capture of catalyst poison
Applications
- Naphtha Hydrotreating (NHT)
- Distillate Hydrocracker (DHC)
- Hydrodesulfurization (DHS)
- Hydrodenitrogenation (HDN)

Benefits
- More effective entrapment of the larger particulates and soluble iron from the feed
- Reduce the pressure drop built-up in the bed
- Contain a high void fraction
- Protection of the catalyst bed from fouling

Benefits
- Specially developed to trap finer particles
- Reduce pressure drop built-up
- High void fraction
- Protection of the catalyst bed from fouling

Benefits
- Developed to trap small particles in its pores
- The large surface areas (> 250 m2/g) provide a huge capacity to trap all type of fines from the feed stream
- Excellent crushing strength with high absorption rates
The mixture of clay can be adjusted to special requirements or demands in case of need.
