Radial Flow Reactor Internals
YTPE designs and manufactures a variety of radial flow reactor internals including centerpipes, outer baskets, cover plates and ventilation pipes,etc.
Our products have been used in Continuous Catalytic Reforming (CCR), Styrene Monomer (SM), Ammonia Conversion, Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) and many others.
Centre-pipe/ Outer basket configurations used in radial flow reactors allow higher flow rates and reduced pressure drop compared with down flow systems. The use of vertical wires reduces catalyst pill abrasion. Our axially-seamless center-pipes have exceptionally high structural strength, and offer extended lifetime, compared to seam-welded patched structures supplied by any other manufacturer in the world. Our patented techniques ensure high accuracy and consistency of slot aperture, mechanical weld strength and screen lifetime in harsh operating conditions. Centrepipes of any height and diameter based on client’s requirements can be manufactured with our unique manufacturing techniques and facilities.
Wedge Wire/Perporated Scallops allow a higher contact area with the catalyst than outer baskets, high resistance to twisting or buckling under extreme operating conditions. Vertical slot design significantly reduces any abrasion of the catalyst pills. YTPE uses EM Hybrid techniques and thus offer advantages in weld strength, slot accuracy, slot consistency, surface smoothness and axial straightness.
Regenerator Internals can be made with Inconel or other Alloys.
YTPE’s outer basket can be manufactured up to 4m in diameter, with minimal circular variance and no axial weld-seems. Our axially-seamless baskets have enhanced structural strength and improved lifetime under harsh conditions compared to patched screen baskets.
Our laser processing technology can produce axially seamless screens with diameter up to 4000 mm. The wedge wire and support rods welded this way possess very high weld strength and slots precision . Axially seamless screens eliminate the risk of longitudinal weld cracks under high temperature, and thus provide more reliable and stable operation of the reactor.
