Hydropac Catalyst Dense Loading System Catalyst loading may be done in either of two ways: sock loading and dense loading.


Sock loading is the simpler loading method, requires both less equipment and less operator training. Catalyst is delivered to the bed being loaded through a flexible sock and is spread and raked to a level condition during loading. The sock loaded catalyst forms a more open bed structure and has both a lower density and lower initial start-of-run (SOR) pressure drop. Over the course of a run, the sock loaded bed tends to


slump to a more dense structure. At end-of-run (EOR), a sock loaded bed will often have a pressure drop equal to that of a dense loaded bed. Dense loading fills a reactor with less open volume in the catalyst beds.


The basic principle is to allow the individual catalyst particles to free-fall to the bed where they bounce around, settling in their lowest energy state. This means that the particles fall onto their long axis and form a horizontal mat with the long dimension of the particles aligned with the bed diameter.
