Catalyst Recovery Systems

Catalyst recovery systems are used to recover the precious catalyst where in system required to recover fine particles of catalyst like platinum, palladium, rhenium and rhodium, Raney nickel, rhodenium after it is used. These systems used in almost all industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, Refineries, Edible oil and in many more....    

Operation

Contaminated fluid enters through Inlet Connection. It passes through the filter element where filtration takes place from outside to inside direction. Contaminants of stipulated micron size will capture on outer surface of filter element and clean fluid will pass through inner core of filter element and comes out at Outlet Connection.

After certain time of operation suspended particles along with catalyst will deposit on the outer surface of filter element which results into gradual increase in pressure drop. Once system sense its preset differential pressure it gives signal to control panel through a pressure switch. Further drain valve and back purging mechanism gets into operation and the process of cleaning the filter element starts. Depending upon application demand for back purging medium like compressed air, nitrogen, gas, solvents and steam can be used.

After completion of cleaning cycle fine particles of catalyst are collected through bottom drain valve or it is directly discharge to reaction vessel for next cycle of operation.
