Chep Catalyst & Chemical Containers is a global source of proven solutions, packaging systems, on-site management,
and logistics support for the storage and shipment of catalysts used in the petroleum refining,
gas processing, and petrochemicals manufacturing industries.
We are a service-oriented company, ever-evolving, expanding and adapting to meet the needs of our customers, on a worldwide basis.
With CCC Headquarters located in Houston, Texas, CCC services customers from a global network of 25 regional service facilities in the USA, Canada, Brazil,
Europe, the Middle East, Russia, Singapore, Australia, and China.
CCC has revolutionized the packaging and transportation of catalyst by introducing the CCC Catalyst-Bin
as an alternative to regular circular drums to unload, transport and store spent hydro-processing catalysts.
With CCC Catalyst-Bins we enable refiners to unload their catalyst in an efficient, less time-consuming and safe way compared to drums,
optimizing the total costs of the shutdown operation.
Let us show you the difference:
When a typical Hydrodesulfurization unit is unloaded the old-fashioned way, using drums for storing and transporting the used catalyst, four trucks deliver
660 empty drums to the reactor site.
The drums are stacked on pallets, with eight drums per pallet.
The catalyst is removed from the reactor using a long tube.
It takes two people to fill the drums beneath the reactor.
The process must be halted every time a drum is full and the liner has to be sealed.
The drums are placed on pallets, four drums per pallet.
A forklift then transports the filled drums to another part of the site where two workers place lids on the drums,
and add necessary stickers to properly identify the contents of the drums.
The drums are strapped against tripping over or falling off.
It then takes eight trucks to transport the drums off the site to the recycling company.
So far, for filling and handling the drums, seven workers, and twelve trucks with 660 drums were needed.
When CCC Catalyst-Bins are used, three trucks deliver 66 empty Catalyst-Bins to the reactor site.
They can be stacked safely in two layers.
The reactor is unloaded by just one person operating the much shorter tube and monitoring the process.
When the Catalyst-Bin is filled up, it is sealed immediately and labeled.
A forklift transports the Catalyst-Bins to a different part of the site.
Here also the Catalyst-Bins can be stacked in two layers, minimizing the space requirements and increasing safety.
Transportation to the recycling plant is done by just six trucks, each carrying eleven Catalyst-Bins.
Filling and handling CCC Catalyst-Bins requires only three workers and nine trucks with 66 Catalyst-Bins.
Using CCC Catalyst-Bins will greatly increase the handling efficiency since one bin equals ten drums.
The Catalyst-Bins are delivered with all the necessary labels and stickers.
In many cases the time to unload the reactor is reduced by 30%.
Using CCC Catalyst-Bins eliminates the environmental problems associated with disposable single-use drums or super sacks.
When CCC Catalyst-Bins are delivered, they are ready to use.
There are no pallets that must be handled and stored.
There are no liners that must be installed.
The Catalyst-Bins have a built-in pallet base.
There are no straps, there is no banding, and the Catalyst-Bins are not wrapped in foil that has to be removed.
While drums or super sacks are thrown away as waste after the process, CCC Catalyst-Bins are cleaned professionally, and can be re-used.
The Catalyst-Bins can be stored outside, close to the unit.
In contrast, leaving drums or super sacks exposed to the weather without protection can cause damage.
They should be stored inside or be otherwise protected from the weather.
The Catalyst-Bins take up less space because they can be stacked in two layers, offering optimized storage.
Also there are no pallets and other packaging materials that take up valuable space or require extra handling.
Using CCC Catalyst-Bins improves worker safety.
The Catalyst-Bins are mechanically handled, which reduces the probability of hand or back injuries.
Catalyst-Bins do not have loose components that can get lost.
In contrast, drums are handled manually, with many possibilities for workers to get injured.
The lid of a drum is not attached to the drum so it can get lost.
Because catalyst is potentially self-heating, CCC Catalyst-Bins have the UN 11 A/X approval for the transport of dangerous goods.
Catalyst-Bins are designed to withstand dropping.
Because of the strength of the construction and the fact that they are sealed hermetically right after filling them at the reactor, it is almost impossible for
workers to be exposed to the catalyst.
In contrast, drums are often transported for short distances without a lid.
They might tip over, or break.
CCC Catalyst-Bins offer ten times the volume of regular barrels or drums.
Every Catalyst-Bin has:
A four-way forklift entry
An EZ-lock slide gate at bottom of the Catalyst-Bin
Four lifting lugs for safe and direct hoisting
A top and bottom security seal
A visible bar code for inventory control
A one-inch BSP threaded nitrogen purge fitting.
With CCC Catalyst-Bins we enable refiners to unload their catalyst in an efficient, less time-consuming and safe way, optimizing the total costs of the shut down operation
These Catalyst-Bins are available to the petrochemical industry on a world-wide scale
with regional offices to provide all the Catalyst-Bins and services required by our customers on a local bases.
A safe, efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly product: the CCC catalyst and chemical containers.
