Original Abstract Submitted

A method of loading a catalyst includes providing a catalyst loading apparatus having an optically transparent tube removably coupled to a metal tube and a horizontal divider having a shaft coupled to a plate, the horizontal divider positioned within the optically transparent tube, the metal tube or at least partially within both. The method also includes adding a first inert material to the optically transparent tube, adding a catalyst into the optically transparent tube, adding a second inert material to the optically transparent tube, inserting a distal end of a leveling device having a shaft and a disc into the catalyst loading apparatus from the top surface of the optically transparent tube, contacting the disc of the leveling device against the second layer comprising the catalyst; and displacing at least the horizontal divider into the metal tube.
