Andover Technology Partners is pleased to offer a catalyst management tool, CAT MANAGER  ™ ver 3.0, that runs in Microsoft Excel.  This powerful tool for catalyst management analysis will assist users perform the following calculations for catalyst reactors with up to five levels of catalyst and two layers per level.

CAT MANAGER ™ v 3.0 is very easy to use.  However, it can handle the realistic conditions of different deactivation rates per level, varying deactivation rates, imperfect ammonia distribution, and it is extremely flexible with regard to reactor configuration, catalyst types, lifetime of analysis, and types of management strategy. CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0  can be used to manage SCR systems whether they are new or they have been in operation for several years.

 

Users familiar with previous versions of CAT MANAGER (TM), find out what is new with version 3.0.

 

CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0 performs a simulation of a catalyst management plan based over a lifetime that the user can vary.  CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0 determines when additions, replacement, or regeneration will be necessary and how much catalyst must be added or replaced based upon the reactor arrangement, expected deactivation rates, allowable ammonia slip and other inputs provided by the user.   The user can vary the cost of catalyst addition or replacement/regeneration independently so that regeneration of existing catalyst can be compared to replacement or addition of new catalyst.  CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0 also calculates cash flows resulting from the catalyst management plan and performs Net Present Value analysis of these cash flows.  CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0 can be used to manage SCR systems whether they are new or they have been in operation for several years, because it is possible to select the starting activity of each catalyst layer.

 

The price for a single copy of CAT MANAGER ™ ver 3.0 when purchased individually is $4,950 plus shipping/handling.

 

Support and Training are included!

 

 Discounts apply for multiple orders or for orders combined with purchase of the SCR Manual and Operating Guidelines.

 Data is input to a worksheet.  The input worksheet is very well documented with comments so that the user doesn’t need to rely heavily on the comprehensive documentation that comes with CAT MANAGER.  Once the user has completed inputting data to the worksheet cells, the user clicks on the “Run Simulation” button.   Upon completion of the simulation, two seven-page reports are generated that show the results in graphical and tabular form.  One report shows results plotted against date and the other shows the results plotted against operating hours.
