Company profile

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Dialog Technivac’s in-house R&D facility part of which is shown above has been in continuous use since 1986. The facility for example has recently been utilised to assist with the development of an all weather pneumatic alternative to crane loading which eliminates the risks of mechanically hoisting materials to a high level.

Apart from providing changeout services to the onshore refining industries Dialog Technivac also provides similar services to offshore production platforms in the North Sea and other parts of the world.

Dialog Technivac’s philosophy is and always has been to wherever possible eliminate the need for confined space entry for catalyst changeout purposes. In addition we believe any form of dust emission should not be an acceptable part of handling operations and also that improved operating safety standards should not necessarily increase costs.

OUR HISTORY

Incorporated in 1985 Dialog Technivac specialises in the provision of catalyst and molecular sieve changeout services. From the outset we have been heavily committed to the research and development of purpose designed handling equipment . As such the company is a world leader in terms of innovation particularly in relation to minimising confined space entry, eliminating dust emission and bringing about substantial cost savings in reducing attrition damage and shutdown time scales.

OUR SAFETY RECORD

Since incorporation in 1985 Dialog Technivac to date has executed in excess of 1000 changeouts under both normal atmospheric and nitrogen blanket conditions without a single lost time accident.

OUR SERVICE CAPABILITIES

Dialog Technivac is able to respond to any changeout requirement throughout the UK from a single bed to multiple bed major shutdown requirements. We have also provided services in France, Holland and Italy and our technology is available through a licensing agreement in Malaysia and Singapore. Within the last decade our services as a result of developing purpose designed vacuum units have been extended to offshore production platforms in the North Sea and more recently in Nigeria and Australia.

Dialog Technivac has the approval of all of the major manufacturers of catalysts and molecular sieves as a handler of their products including Johnson Matthey ICI, UOP, Grace Chemicals etc,.
