Understanding your reactor from the inside out is how we create integrated filtration systems that increase catalyst load utilization by 300 percent – and extend production cycles as much as 1,000 percent.

By focusing on the science of improving reactor performance, Crystaphase products and our Tech Service experts optimize your engineering and business outcomes.

When was your last reactor checkup?

Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt.

A dose of Crystaphase is the prescription for improved reactor performance.

Start the exam

Scale up production with proven filtration solutions.

With a Crystaphase CatTrap^® filtration system, feedstock is internally filtered through tortuous, intricate pathways of reticulated ceramic that are more than 90 percent porous.

Particles are separated from fluids by struts and captured by pores. This eliminates crusting during purification to reduce pressure drop build – improving throughput by as much as 50 percent.

See how

Make the most of valuable reactor real estate.

Every inch of your reactor bed costs a fortune to operate, so how you manage your reactor real estate is critical. Crystaphase CatTrap can hold almost twice its weight in foulants. This means far less space is required to capture suspended particles and poisons that interfere with catalyst performance and build up causing rivulets and crusting.

CatTrap is more void space than ceramic. It’s bigger on the inside than any other product and can hold 195 percent of its weight in foulant. With the high tortuosity, this void space is geared to exceed the catalyst filtration efficiency – and keep your reactor running longer.

Unlock the “opportunity” in opportunity crudes.

Economic success for petrochemical refineries requires the ability to improve feedstock flexibility and accept opportunity crude that’s priced at a discount because of its challenging properties.

Without proper filtration, the suspended particles, poisons and foulants build up, choke throughput and kill performance. Crystaphase has solutions to remove catalyst poisons from your feedstock. This preserves the life of your catalyst and makes a wider variety of feedstocks economically viable.

Our products have a proven track record in thousands of applications.

Crystaphase has demonstrated dramatic performance improvements and accelerated Time to Value in hundreds of refining, petrochemical and chemical plants worldwide.

Building on the success of CatTrap, we’ve evolved our filtrtation portfolio to tackle a plethora of catalyst-killing problems, including:

Removing particles from feedstock
Targeting soluble foulants and eliminating precipitates
Dispersing rivulets to control temperature hot spots
Improving catalyst-feedstock interface
Protecting your catalyst bed with high-performance sorbents
