THE LABORATORY PERFORMS ANALYSIS OF PROCESS LIQUIDS AND SOLUTIONS USING:
titrimetric methods
photocolorimetric analysis
conductometric methods
potentiometric methods
other classical analytical techniques
These analyses allow evaluation of
composition, contamination level and
operational characteristics of working
process fluids.
THE RVA UNIT ENABLES:
Comparative testing of fresh, regenerated and reactivated catalysts
Determination of relative catalytic activity
Evaluation of the impact of thermal
treatment and reactivation
Verification of performance restoration
Qualification of catalyst batches prior
to loading
Testing is conducted under conditions
simulating industrial hydrotreating
operation, ensuring technically relevant and reliable interpretation
of results.
REOCAT operates an RVA (Relative Volume Activity) unit for evaluation
of hydrotreating catalyst performance.
The method determines the relative activity of a catalyst batch compared
to a reference sample under controlled conditions.
