Our SERVICES

Dense Loading That Gets More From Every Reactor

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

Loading Uniformly

TrayTec dense loads your reactor uniformly and tightly, fitting more catalyst into the same vessel than sock loading allows. More catalyst in a consistent bed gives your unit more capacity to work with from the first day of the run.

Layered Properly

Our crews load layer by layer across the full bed, eliminating the voids and uneven settling that lead to channeling and hot spots. Your feed flows evenly through the catalyst, your unit performs the way it was designed to, and you get longer run lengths between changeouts.

Inspection Process

Before we load, TrayTec’s team reviews your reactor and catalyst specifications to plan the job around your unit and your turnaround schedule. If dense loading isn’t the best fit for a particular bed, we’ll tell you and recommend the right method instead.

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 every man on-site meets the highest industry standards.

Industry-Experienced Supervisory Team

Our supervisors bring decades of hands-on experience in catalyst handling across refineries, chemical plants, and LNG facilities. We don't send rookies to manage your turnaround — we send specialists who have seen it all and know how to get it done right the first time.

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.

Our Experiences

2 Decades of Experience in Every Lift

For more than 20 years, TrayTec has handled dense loading and catalyst services for refineries and petrochemical plants. Our crews have loaded, unloaded and screened catalyst across a wide range of reactor types, working to each unit’s loading plan and safety requirements. That experience means fewer surprises during your turnaround and a reactor that’s ready to run when the job is done.

Our technicians have worked inside towers and reactors across the majority of U.S. states, as well as South Africa, South America, and beyond. That field-level expertise means fewer surprises, faster execution, and a safer job site, every time. As a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and a fully compliant contractor under ISNetworld, Avetta, and PEC, TrayTec brings the credentials and the capability to deliver on your most demanding catalyst projects.
