Van Tongeren is a world-leading specialist in cyclone technology and particle separation in gas, particularly in FCC units. Its international prestige is based on decades of development, a very extensive installed base and a recognised capability to evaluate, redesign and optimise the performance of separation systems in refining.
In FCC cyclones, Van Tongeren provides solutions aimed at maximising catalyst recovery, reducing losses, controlling pressure drop and increasing reactor and regenerator reliability. The company works with leading licensors and has its own calculation methodologies that allow estimation of carryover, catalyst losses and optimal geometries for each service.
In addition to design, it can supply diplegs, chambers, supports, spare parts and field support for turnarounds, revamps or capacity improvements, particularly relevant in FCCU where small changes translate directly into efficiency and operating cost impact.
Van Tongeren brings a very uncommon specialisation in FCC cyclones, with a direct impact on catalyst recovery and operational stability.
