Axens provides support for Catalysts & Adsorbents by managing change-outs while meeting cost reduction, targets and deadline with Orchestra™.
Orchestra is a wide and flexible range of integrated services optimizing catalyst and adsorbent change-out phases by:
- Identifying the optimum technical solution in line with operator strategy and constraints,
- Reducing overall turnaround costs,
- Integrating specific needs like catalyst pool management, used products valorization or waste disposal,
- Customizing supply scope, from standard offer to single source turnkey contract,
- Being fully compliant with environmental regulations.
For applications based on non-regenerable adsorbents (AxTrap™ Series) where contamination is an issue, our Sorbotest on-site pilot test is available to help you identify the problem and respond with the appropriate solution. Sorbotest® can be used for both feasibility study and troubleshooting purpose.
Sorbotest is a unique transportable non electrical device using a skid-mounted adsorber that can identify an array of feedstock contaminants.
