Engineering & Consulting
The life cycle of a process plant starts with the process development, goes through engineering, erection and commissioning and includes finally the maintenance over the full lifetime. EKATO offers services for all these steps: lab and pilot tests in R&D including flow simulation (CFD) for the design basis and the scale up to the production scale. Ranging from an analysis of process-side requirements, followed by tests with physical models, flow simulations (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) – EKATO achieves optimum results using the latest engineering tools available.
The scope of supply can be extended to the periphery of a reactor or to a turn-key plant including the control system. The planning and implementation of a maintenance concept completes the service package of EKATO

Hydrogenation plants
EKATO specializes in the design and engineering of hydrogenation plant technology, reliable development of a production process, and the mechanical design of hydrogenation plant equipment.
EKATO operates a Hydrogenation Test Center which has been designed to bridge the gap between bench-scale chemistry and commercial manufacturing. The flexible plant concept allows examining and optimizing your hydrogenation process with original raw materials under real operating conditions in pilot scale. The aim is to produce reliable test results for scale-up and development of a production process in an economical and timely fashion. Our engineering teams will apply the obtained knowledge for design of a full-scale hydrogenation plant which is tailored to your specific process requirements. Thus we pave the way for an efficient and risk mitigated investment in the new construction or the rebuilt of a hydrogenation plant.
