Crystaphase is a global leader in reactor fouling mitigation, specializing in advanced internal technologies that protect
catalysts and optimize flow. Their mission is to eliminate the physical and chemical barriers that cause premature
reactor shutdowns, ensuring “One Stop” reliability for high-value process units.

Comprehensive Fouling Mitigation
Crystaphase transitions reactors from “Surface Filtration” to “Advanced Depth Filtration” to address the root causes of
fouling:
• Chemical Fouling (ActiPhase®): Employs specialized chemical activity to neutralize soluble foulants—such as
diolefins and gums—preventing them from reacting to form a flow-blocking “crust” on the catalyst.
• Physical Fouling (CatTrap®): Utilizes patented, high-void geometric filtration media to trap inorganic solids (iron
sulfide, scale, and dust) deep within the media bed rather than on the surface.
• Power-Law Bed Grading: Custom-engineered grading architectures designed to protect expensive catalyst beds
from feed-borne contaminants throughout the entire cycle.

Key Performance Impact
• Extend Run Times: Proven to delay pressure drop end-of-run (EOR) and extend reactor cycles by up to 200%.
• Eliminate Pressure Drop: Maintains a flat pressure profile by preventing top-bed crust formation.
• Maximize Throughput: Allows plants to maintain higher feed rates and processing severity without fouling-related
bottlenecks.
• Asset Protection: Complements Johnson Screens internals and Honeywell UOP processes by preserving catalyst
activity and life
