This polypropylene demo plant was designed and constructed for a major US client. It included a single fluidized bed reactor and a comprehensive feedstock purification train. This system was used as a platform to make subsequent units for other customers in Korea and...
The client has developed a catalyst and technology to convert biomass into a bio-oil that can be used directly for heating purposes or can be upgraded to an oxygen-free product compatible with existing refinery feedstocks. This process uses a circulating bed similar...
The hydroprocessing pilot plant works at pressures of up to 200 bar. It’s a two stage system with 250 mL catalyst charge in each stage.
This is a pilot plant for a new technology utilizing shockwave nozzles and steam/ methane to create a free hydrogen radical. The radical reacts with bitumen creating lighter pumpable crude. The pilot plant ran successfully and created the appropriate data for a...
A diesel/VGO de-sulfurization pilot plant to make ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD). This pilot plant was constructed to evaluate a totally new and novel technology using the production of peracetic acid to generate free radicals to conduct the desulfurization. The...
This system was designed and built for catalyst testing for use at the customer’s refinery. Reactor Pressure: 2,800 psig Reactor Temperature: 900 °F The reactors can be operated in series or in parallel. The unit is 100% computer controlled for continuous...
Catalytic distillation is a new technology pioneered by Unitel for conversion of crude methanol into dimethyl ether. Unitel has constructed a demonstration plant for using catalytic distillation for dehydration of methanol to make dimethyl ether. This demo plant has a...
Synthesis Gas Conditioning System: This demonstration unit was designed and fabricated by Unitel for RTI International for an end user in California. The purpose of this system is to condition the gas produced by a proprietary gasification process for use in a...
This plant was designed to demonstrate a new technology for upgrading bitumen extracted from oil sands. Unitel designed and built this plant in 2009. The project was an outstanding success and Unitel was responsible for all the design, construction and commissioning...
This catalyst testing unit was designed and fabricated by Unitel for a major oil company in Korea. The system is designed to test the lifetime of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalysts. The catalyst is pneumatically transported into the 800°C reactor in which it...
