Paraffin Hydrocracking

A 2-parallel paraffin trickle-flow hydrocracker unit
The task

ILS has a long track record of making Fischer Tropsch testing units for both slurry and fixed-bed applicaitons.

We were approached by one of our FT clients to build a 2-parallel paraffin trickle-flow hydrocracker. This unit is used to convert the solid FT-paraffin wax to a range of fuel-grade products. The client had previous difficulties reliable pumping the solid paraffin wax over long periods, obtaining true plug-flow in trickle-flow mode and incorporating on-line analytics.
The result

After having constructed the unit according to the clients wishes, ILS operated the unit for nearly 1-month on-site using a catalyst provided by the client.

Fortunately only minor problems appeared and could quickly be corrected. Full integration of the on-line GC, which detects up to 20 components was performed on-site and to the full satisfaction of the client.
