How we stand apart

Built on safety,
Backed by experience.

Three principles define every catalyst project TRAYTEC 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

20+ Years of Catalyst Experience
in the Field

Founded in 2005, TrayTec has spent two decades building a reputation for reliable, high-quality catalyst services across the United States and internationally. We've completed catalyst projects in refineries, chemical processing facilities, LNG plants, and primary reformers in atmospheric and inert IDLH conditions.

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.

Our SERVICES

Catalyst Services
We Provide

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

Catalyst Unloading

Wet gravity unloading, fixed-bed vacuum unloading, catalyst and support material screening, inert (IDLH) and non-inert entry, tubular plate catalyst removal via air lance, and cable guide service for tubular plates.

Catalyst loading

Fixed-bed loading in both inert (IDLH) and atmospheric conditions, sock loading and dense loading of fixed beds, dense loading of catalyst into primary reformer tubes, and real-time video monitoring and inspection.

Dense Loading

Precision dense loading services that maximize catalyst bed density and uniformity, improving reactor efficiency and extending catalyst life across fixed-bed reactors and reformer tubes.

Mechanical & Flange Services

Full bolting and blinding with blind flanges, hydraulic torquing and tensioning, hydraulic nut cutting, inlet/outlet head removal, vessel blinding, and on-site tray repair, demolition, and installation.

Chemical Plants

Catalyst loading, unloading, and handling services tailored to chemical processing units — including ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol plants — with full IDLH-entry capability and HAZMAT compliance.

LNG Facilities

Specialized catalyst services for liquefied natural gas facilities, including primary reformer tube loading and dense-loading operations that require precision handling in high-stakes environments.

Refineries

Turnkey catalyst services for petroleum refinery units including hydrotreaters, hydrocrackers, catalytic reformers, and FCC units — handled by crews with direct refinery turnaround experience.
