Isomerization Equipment

UOP offers a full range of innovative isomerization equipment specifically designed to optimize your isomerization unit operations.

One of our most widely used pieces of equipment is the UOP drier regeneration control system (DRCS), which performs key unit operations functions while minimizing manual involvement and therefore operations expense.

UOP’s gas and liquid driers in Butamer process units or Penex process units perform the important task of safeguarding the catalyst from water vapor in the makeup hydrogen and hydrocarbon feed. This is crucial because water vapor permanently deactivates high activity chlorided alumina isomerization catalyst. Therefore, the driers must be regenerated properly and in a timely fashion.
