Our SERVICES

Catalyst Change-Outs, Start to Finish

Full-scope catalyst handling, mechanical services, and facility-specific support executed by crews with direct field experience in each envirenment.

Catalyst Unloading

TrayTec removes spent catalyst from your reactor safely and efficiently, with crews trained for inert entry and confined-space work. We plan the removal around your unit and your turnaround schedule, so the reactor is ready for loading without delays.

Screening & Handling

Our crews screen and handle catalyst on site, separating material for reuse, regeneration or disposal according to your plan. Coordinated handling between unloading and loading keeps your change-out moving and your work area under control.

Catalyst Loading

TrayTec loads fresh catalyst to your unit’s loading plan, using dense or sock loading, whichever is right for each bed. When the job is done, your reactor is loaded correctly and ready to come back online.

How we stand apart

Built on safety,
Backed by experience.

Three principles define every catalyst project TRAY TEC executes - and every one of them directly protects your schedule, your people, and your asset.

Uncompromising Safety Standards

Every catalyst job we execute begins and ends with safety. Our crews are fully trained for inert (IDLH) entry, confined space work and hazardous atmosphere protocols. We are ISNetworld, Avetta and PEC compliant, so you can trust that everyone on site meets the highest industry standards.

One Accountable Partner

Our single-owner approach gives you one partner with clear accountability for the entire catalyst change-out. By eliminating handoffs between contractors and coordinating every service under one team, we help shorten turnarounds, reduce costly downtime and get your unit back online faster.

End-to-End Turnkey Capability

TrayTec handles the full scope — unloading, loading, dense loading, screening, and all associated mechanical and flange work. One contractor. One point of contact. No gaps. Our turnkey approach minimizes your downtime and keeps your project on schedule.
