Customer focussed innovation – improving sustainability and profits

Our strategic business aim is constant reinvestment in catalyst and process technologies, enabling us   to support hydrocarbon processors in achieving their goals.

We actively seek to understand customers' problems and process limitations, ensuring that solutions are tailored to meet specific needs.

Our innovations are not only the result of internal expertise but also strategic partnerships with customers, working together to improve customer sustainability, efficiency and profitability.

Through these partnerships UNICAT has been able to improve the operation of many PSA units, fulfilling customer’s needs and ultimately driving advancements in the industry.

Ground-breaking gas purifying and separating technology

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a well-established gas separation process in hydrogen purification, helium purification and air separation among others. In addition to engineering, the adsorbents selected and employed in the PSA process are extremely important in determining the performance of a PSA unit.

We offer a premium range of adsorbents and a deep technical understanding in engineering PSA systems to lead our customers to the best PSA performance possible.

Our range of products remove targeted contaminants from standard:

  • CO, CO2, C1-C6+ hydrocarbons
  • H2S, H2O

Different layers of adsorbents are used to remove targeted contaminants

There are a significant number of contaminants that require removal from a standard gas stream. Different layers of adsorbents are commonly used to remove one or more targeted contaminants.

Process steps are upflow while the regeneration steps are downflow.
