In the heart of hydrocracking units—whether for diesel, jet fuel, or naphtha upgrading—the reactor internals play a vital role in ensuring catalyst integrity, flow distribution, and operational safety. When improperly selected or installed, catalyst supports can collapse, cause maldistribution, pressure drops, or even lead to total reactor failure. This results in millions of dollars in […]
