INLET DIFFUSERS

From the very simple slotted pipe inlet diffuser to licensor engineered inlet diffusers, WMP has the ability to fabricate the solution. With many styles and options, WMP is the one stop solution provider with years of experience in inlet diffusers.

CATALYST HOLD-DOWN/FLOATING SCREENS

Catalyst Hold-Down or Floating Screens are used to help contain the catalyst bed or selected media while aiding in distribution of the feed. Additionally, they minimize catalyst bed upsets during any up flow condition or regeneration cycles that the vessel may be subject to during its operation. WMP offers a variety of options including perforated plate, profile wire, knitted pads and wire mesh.
