Abstract :
A WESTERN refinery was adding a new catalytic reformer unit to existing facilities. The chemical process involved, which had a platinum catalyst worth $250,000 in suspension, was dependent upon mechanical power to a compressor. This was a vital drive where loss of mechanical power for a short time meant loss of the catalyst as well as loss of production.
