ARSKA Technologies offers solutions in testing of adsorbents and catalysts for compliance with manufacturer-declared parameters for the process. The aim of testing is to determine optimal parameters of the process.
Testing includes the following principle steps:
1. Testing of catalysts on the pilot units that imitate the reactor of a refinery plant.
2. Carrying out the analitical research of the raw feedstock components and the products of catalytic reaction.
3. Estimation optimal parameters of the process that would allow maximal product output.
In the research procedures of the catalyst properties and hydrocarbon mixture composition specialysts of ARSKA Technologies use the top analytical equipment that provide high analysis precision and speed.
