Flat Bed Reactor Loading& Unloading

This training covers catalyst handling techniques for flat bed reactors. It discusses the tools and equipment used, including vacuum cyclones, drums, and forklifts. Best practices like permitting, PPE, and drum handling are also covered. The document outlines the unloading technique of using vacuum hoses to remove spent catalyst from the reactor and load it into drums. It then describes the loading technique which involves prebagging new catalyst into drums near the reactor and using a hopper and loading sock to distribute it evenly in the vessel.

Drums, Loading Sock, Scaffolds for prebagging.
• Lineup of New Catalyst Drums near reactor for prebagging.
• Prepare a scaffold platform around Hopper for loading new catalyst
drums to Hopper.
• Using forklift transfer Drums on the scaffold platform and manually
loading catalyst in to hopper.
• Attach loading sock to the Hopper’s outlet Nozzle
• Lift the loading Hopper and hold it near location of loading.
• Open the Hoppers outlet Nozzle and using loading sock load inside the
vessel.
• Using a approved technique ensure uniform loading in all areas of bed.
• Inspection to be done by Operations and process Departmen for
proper loading.
