The strategic location in Caldwell, Texas, was chosen because of its proximity to the petroleum refineries located in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast area. The short distance from these refineries will minimize the spent catalyst shipping costs for customers and reduce their overall cycle time associated with the spent catalyst reclamation. Zodiac was constructed from a green field thereby assuring no previous environmental history. Customer visits by refinery technical representatives can be easily accomplished in a day trip. Independent contract representation is also conveniently available from the Houston metropolitan area. Since the burn off pretreatment and weighing and sampling are conducted as one continuous process, everything can be witnessed in one location at the same time.
The pretreatment burn off is conducted in a rotary kiln utilizing an indirect fired heater. This assures that there is no mixing of the combustion gas with the catalyst. The air flow within the kiln is minimized in order to assure that no small particles like fines or dust are entrained. The result is a tight material balance across the unit and no platinum loss. In addition to a rotary kiln calciner and state of the art weighing and sampling equipment, the new facility houses an on-site laboratory, maintenance shop, and offices for Zodiac management and contract representatives. Because the burn off oven is a rotary kiln, it's the ideal process for burning off catalyst fines from a Continuous Catalytic Reformer (CCR).
This is a long-recognized need of its customers which Zodiac (Gemini) can now meet. Spent catalyst shipments large and small can be processed and sampled quickly and accurately. Therefore, there is no longer a need to accumulate large inventories of CCR fines before sending them for reclamation.
