    BASF R0-25 Loading Procedure

    Uploaded by

    Amir Rahbari
    The document provides guidelines for loading the BASF Catalyst R 0-25 into a treater vessel. It recommends cleaning and inspecting the vessel first. A bed support should be installed before loading begins. Personnel should wear protective gear during loading. The catalyst can be loaded directly or through a funnel, taking care not to allow free-fall from over 3 feet. Boards should be placed for workers to stand on. The bed must be leveled after loading and a hold-down layer of inert balls added and leveled.

    Loading Guidelines

    The following steps are recommended for filling the treater:

    1. Before catalyst is charged, the vessel should be cleaned, leak-tested and inspected.
    The inside walls and internals must be clean. The condition of the vessel should be
    noted with respect to corrosion and wall thickness.

    2. A suitable bed support must be installed before catalyst loading begins. See page 2 for
    a typical bed support design.

    3. Before charging catalyst to the vessel, it is recommended to circumscribe the inside


    wall of the vessel with chalk or soap at the targeted heights for the layers of support
    material and catalyst respectively. This will make the leveling of the bed easier, and will
    help ensure that the correct quantities of each material have been loaded.

    4. The catalyst can be charged directly from drums or bags, or from a loading hopper.
    The catalyst must not be allowed to free-fall more than 3 feet. The free-fall can be
    controlled by loading through a funnel with attached hose ("sock-loading" technique).

    5. If personnel must be inside the vessel during the filling operation or at any time after
    catalyst loading has commenced, boards should be placed on top of the catalyst for the
    workers to stand on. Treading directly on the catalyst should be avoided, as this would
    cause attrition of the catalyst, forming fines in the catalyst bed.

    6. After the catalyst has been loaded into the treater vessel, the bed must be leveled.

    7. Finally, the hold-down layer of inert balls (see page 3) must be put in and leveled.

    Important Note! Personal protective gear including gloves,


    safety glasses and dust mask must be worn by all personnel
    involved in the catalyst loading operation.
