Remote Technologies for safe catalyst unloading
In today’s modern world, there are many good reasons for finding ways to facilitate the unloading of pyrophoric catalysts without entry, in order to minimize the time that specialist workers spend under immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) conditions in reactors under a nitrogen blanket.
BUCHEN-ICS has developed a number of technologies in order to achieve this goal. One of these systems is our Remote Vacuum Robot (RVR) – a hydraulically-powered, remotely-operated device that allows dry granular catalyst to be unloaded from outside the confined space. And our latest innovation, a compact size version – the Cat Crawler (patent pending). Compared to manual unloading, this system not only reduces the time spent under IDLH conditions but also increases efficiency by avoiding time-consuming entry checks and preparation.
