00:00:06.279 to safely remove the catalysts from 00:00:09.31000:00:09.320 hydrotreating or hydro processing 00:00:11.44000:00:11.450 reactors refiners are faced with the 00:00:13.72000:00:13.730 problem of spent catalyst that contains 00:00:15.97000:00:15.980 active metal sulfides that can react 00:00:18.60900:00:18.619 with oxygen when exposed to air these 00:00:21.63900:00:21.649 reactions lead to the release of toxic 00:00:24.27900:00:24.289 sulfur dioxide gas the exothermic 00:00:27.37000:00:27.380 reactions will heat the catalyst and may 00:00:29.73900:00:29.749 result in spontaneous ignition catnap 00:00:33.70000:00:33.710 utilizes our patented technology along 00:00:36.58000:00:36.590 with a proprietary chemical to passivate 00:00:39.11900:00:39.129 pyrophoric or self heating catalyst this 00:00:42.61000:00:42.620 allows for unload in an air atmosphere 00:00:45.13000:00:45.140 the passivated catalysts can improve the 00:00:48.06900:00:48.079 flow characteristics that facilitate 00:00:50.41000:00:50.420 removal and other subsequent handling 00:00:52.72000:00:52.730 the treated catalyst can be regenerated 00:00:55.38900:00:55.399 catnap eliminates catalyst dust and 00:00:58.09000:00:58.100 fines and reduces attrition during 00:01:00.52000:01:00.530 catalyst removal and packaging this 00:01:04.24000:01:04.250 results in a significantly reduced risk 00:01:07.27000:01:07.280 because the need for working in inert 00:01:09.46000:01:09.470 atmospheres is eliminated mitigating 00:01:12.81900:01:12.829 potential volatile hydrocarbon lower 00:01:15.28000:01:15.290 explosive limit or LEL issues the 00:01:19.27000:01:19.280 cost-saving of not having to use 00:01:21.01000:01:21.020 nitrogen for inert entry works 00:01:23.67000:01:23.680 eliminating catalyst unloading 00:01:25.89900:01:25.909 interruptions due to oxygen intrusion a 00:01:28.85900:01:28.869 faster reactor cooldown due to the 00:01:31.87000:01:31.880 superior heat transfer capability of 00:01:34.27000:01:34.280 liquid cooling more rapid units shut 00:01:37.71900:01:37.729 down by eliminating hot hydrogen 00:01:40.09000:01:40.100 stripping eliminating exposure to toxic 00:01:43.74900:01:43.759 and pyrophoric dust reducing dust 00:01:46.99000:01:47.000 complications such as baghouse plugging 00:01:49.66000:01:49.670 or fires cat techs catnap technology 00:01:54.06900:01:54.079 allows for a safer faster and more 00:01:56.74000:01:56.750 cost-effective method for either 00:01:58.56900:01:58.579 skimming or full catalyst unloading 00:02:02.20000:02:02.210 the application of catnap technology is 00:02:05.45000:02:05.460 part of the reactors shutdown procedure 00:02:07.76000:02:07.770 it utilizes the injection and absorption 00:02:10.79000:02:10.800 of a chemical inhibitor while cooling 00:02:13.40000:02:13.410 the unit down under oil circulation each 00:02:17.18000:02:17.190 unit must be customized according to its 00:02:19.79000:02:19.800 design and operation in general the 00:02:22.72900:02:22.739 procedure is as follows the feed rate of 00:02:26.44900:02:26.459 the reactor is reduced and the reactor 00:02:28.72900:02:28.739 is allowed to start cooling down a 00:02:31.69000:02:31.700 qualified carrier oil from the refiner 00:02:34.58000:02:34.590 is introduced to flush out the normal 00:02:37.00900:02:37.019 process feed and the unit is put on 00:02:39.53000:02:39.540 liquid recycle the proprietary catnap 00:02:43.64000:02:43.650 organic chemical is injected into the 00:02:46.03900:02:46.049 recycle oil stream coating the catalyst 00:02:49.22000:02:49.230 pellets the carrier oil and chemical are 00:02:53.12000:02:53.130 circulated and recycled to allow the 00:02:55.78900:02:55.799 unit to cool to the appropriate target 00:02:58.33900:02:58.349 temperature this cooling method is 00:03:00.55900:03:00.569 faster than circulating hydrogen when 00:03:04.33900:03:04.349 the target temperature has been 00:03:05.69000:03:05.700 established the circulation is stopped 00:03:08.24000:03:08.250 and the unit is de-oiled the reactor is 00:03:13.06900:03:13.079 degassed as per normal operating 00:03:15.53000:03:15.540 procedure the reactor is purged with dry 00:03:19.81900:03:19.829 air and measurements are taken for toxic 00:03:22.55000:03:22.560 or flammable gases trained cat tech 00:03:26.69000:03:26.700 personnel outfitted with life support 00:03:29.03000:03:29.040 equipment for added safety then enter 00:03:31.69900:03:31.709 under air and not under life threatening 00:03:34.37000:03:34.380 nitrogen atmosphere conditions at this 00:03:37.64000:03:37.650 point the catalyst is passivated with 00:03:40.09900:03:40.109 minimal risk of dangerous self heating 00:03:42.69900:03:42.709 since the catalyst is treated there is 00:03:45.77000:03:45.780 no dust to deal with and the catalyst 00:03:48.37900:03:48.389 can be removed by either dumping through 00:03:50.53900:03:50.549 exit nozzles or vacuuming 00:03:53.85000:03:53.860 the product can then be safely 00:03:55.98000:03:55.990 transported to off-site locations in 00:03:58.53000:03:58.540 bins or drums the reactor is now ready 00:04:02.85000:04:02.860 for inspection and repairs as catnap 00:04:06.63000:04:06.640 uses an organic chemical to coat the 00:04:09.03000:04:09.040 catalysts the catalyst can be 00:04:10.92000:04:10.930 regenerated off-site by most 00:04:13.29000:04:13.300 regeneration facilities success in
