Why Your Current Hydrogenation Process Is Holding You Back

High Energy Consumption: Conventional reactors waste up to 25 % more gas per ton of product.
Inconsistent Product Quality: Catalyst deactivation leads to a 15‑20 % yield loss across batches.
Long Downtime for Maintenance: Average turnaround is 48 hours, choking your production schedule.
Expensive Shipping & Heavy‑Duty Vessels: Over‑specification adds $0.8 M per year in logistics.
Regulatory Risks: Non‑compliant pressure vessels attract fines up to $250,000 (CE, ISO, DOT).

Data point: The Industrial Gases Market 2025 report shows a 5.95 % CAGR driven largely by more efficient hydrogenation technologies.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

“Since installing Enric’s hydrogenation reactor, our plant’s energy intensity dropped from 3.5 kWh/kg to 2.4 kWh/kg – a 31 % saving. The modular design let us replace the catalyst in‑situ, cutting scheduled downtime from 48 h to under 8 h.”
— Laura M., Procurement Director, Shell UK

“The OEM‑ODM flexibility allowed us to meet the FDA‑GMP requirement for food‑grade hydrogenation without a single redesign. Delivery was on‑time, and the CE‑certificates gave us immediate market access in Europe.”
— Mark T., Operations Manager, Cargill USA

Frequently Asked Questions

What does hydrogenation do in petrochemical processing?

Hydrogenation saturates unsaturated hydrocarbons, converting alkenes or aromatics into stable alkanes, improving fuel octane, reducing sulfur content, and enabling downstream polymerization.

Can the reactor be customized for food‑grade applications?

Yes. Enric offers 316 L stainless‑steel inner linings, sanitary‑grade gaskets, and complies with FDA 21 CFR 184.1665. OEM‑ODM options let you select material, pressure, and control‑system certifications.

What are the typical lead times and shipping methods?

Standard models ship within 4 weeks via 20‑ft container (Roro or flat‑rack). Custom units may require 6‑8 weeks, with optional FOB, CIF, or DDP terms.

How does Enric guarantee after‑sales service?

We provide 24/7 remote diagnostics, a 2‑year parts warranty, and on‑site spare‑part kits. Our European service hub (Germany) guarantees a 48‑hour response for critical failures.

Is the equipment compatible with existing SCADA systems?

The control panel supports OPC‑UA, Modbus TCP, and can be integrated into Siemens, Rockwell, or ABB SCADA platforms via standard APIs.
