The typical catalytic reforming units’ change-out process of chloride adsorbent beds is usually based on either historical experience or the recommended frequency in the original design specs. Neither approach considers changing dynamics of inlet chloride levels and may lead to change outs that happen too soon or too late … resulting in lost investment dollars, adsorbent waste and inefficient man hours. UOP’s ChorideGuard system uses real-time catalytic reforming unit process conditions to evaluate and monitor chloride treater operations, delivering:

• Higher return on your adsorbent investment
• Reduced pain and cost associated with an unplanned reloading of adsorbents
• More predictable adsorbent units
• Greater efficiency with improved change-out management
• More reliable refining processes
• Avoidance of potential chloride slip-through due to early breakthrough or adsorbent waste
