 Intertek PARC Pilot Plant Services

Intertek PARC’s independent and confidential pilot plant testing services can simulate most petroleum refinery process units ranging from crude introduction by desalting/distillation through resid upgrading applications. PARC’s thirty-two pilot plant units have been used to evaluate process and catalyst upgrades, troubleshoot refining operations, optimize production facilities and provide the design basis for commercial applications.  PARC offers the flexibility to adapt and modify units to evaluate a wide range of chemical, petrochemical and synthetic fuel processing configurations ranging from light naphtha to vacuum resid.  Around-the-clock attended unit operations and analytical control permit timely, cost effective and accurate process evaluations.  The pilot plants employ up-to-date automation including on-stream analyzers, computer data logging and material balance documentation.

Intertek PARC’s pilot plant services can be classified into two primary categories, hydroprocessing and non-hydoprocessing operations:

Intertek PARC provides around-the-clock unit pilot plant operation and analytical control, allowing timely, cost-effective and accurate technology evaluations. The petroleum and chemical pilot plants use on-stream analyzers, computer data logging and material balance documentation. Continuous-run pilot plant facilities are available to handle petroleum refining process and catalyst evaluations from reforming and isomerization through resid hydrotreating and delayed coking. Intertek PARC welcomes the opportunity to handle customers' toll processing business. Clients easily access their project test data via the web with the RODA reporting system.
