ActiPhase™ 3D SiTrap Technology

A dvanced Multi-Tasking Top Bed Technology

Product Data Sheet

ActiPhase™ 3D Silicon Trap (SiTrap) Technology is designed specifically for feed streams where silicon or defoaming
agents are problematic. This branch of ActiPhase™ 3D Technology incorporates the highly successful Reticulation®
Technology with proven catalytic activity used for silicon removal, making this product extremely effective in situations
where pressure drop and silicon poisoning solutions are needed simultaneously.

ActiPhase™ 3D has tremendous effective internal porosity (~85%). When randomly loaded into the unit the sum of the
effective internal porosity and external void space exceeds 90%. If the internal pores of ActiPhase™ 3D were to be filled,
the remaining void space would still be greater than conventional ceramic support materials.

ActiPhase™ 3D is currently available in alumina silica composition circular disks. Systems are custom designed for every
application.

US Patent Numbers 6,258,900 and 6,291,603. Other patents pending.
