Accelerated reactor cooldown
During maintenance of refining plant, reactor cooldown can take up most of the time available: accelerated and controlled cooldown with liquid nitrogen can significantly reduce plant downtime, benefiting production activities.
For example, to substitute the catalyst in a hydrocracking reactor, the time needed for cooling down to temperatures that will allow personnel to enter safety can be reduced from several days to a few hours: using the solution supplied by SOL cooldown can be safely made far more rapid by pumping cold nitrogen into the reactor, continually monitoring the temperatures in various points of the plant.
With its experience in the sector, SOL provides all the equipment and personnel required to carry out cooldown operations with maximum efficiency and in conditions of safety: thanks to continuous research into effective and efficient technologies and collaboration with highly qualified operators, SOL can support its customers with customised solutions and provide the most advanced cooldown applications available on the market.
