Clariant Introduces Plus Series Syngas Catalysts for Sustainable Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
- Clariant launches ReforMax LDP Plus, ShiftMax 217 Plus, and AmoMax 10 Plus catalysts to enhance economics and reduce emissions in syngas plants.
- The new catalysts enable more energy-efficient production of blue hydrogen and green ammonia, supporting sustainability in energy and chemical industries.
- ReforMax LDP Plus reduces pressure drop by 20%, ShiftMax 217 Plus lowers methanol formation by over 50%, and AmoMax 10 Plus increases ammonia production efficiency by 24%.
- The Plus series catalysts have been successfully used in over 40 production plants globally, contributing to increased productivity and sustainability throughout the syngas value chain.
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company based in Munich, Germany, has introduced its new Plus series syngas catalysts to the market. The company's upgraded portfolio includes ReforMax LDP Plus, ShiftMax 217 Plus, and AmoMax 10 Plus catalysts, which have demonstrated improved plant economics and reduced carbon emissions at commercial scale. These catalysts are designed as drop-in solutions to enhance efficiency and sustainability in the production of blue hydrogen and green ammonia.
Georg Anfang, Vice President Syngas and Fuels at Clariant Catalysts, emphasized the importance of these catalysts in the transition towards decarbonizing the chemical and energy industries. The ReforMax LDP Plus series, known for its flower-like 8-hole shape, reduces pressure drop in reactors by up to 20%, leading to energy savings and longer service life. The ShiftMax 217 Plus catalyst offers greater selectivity, reducing methanol formation by over 50% and enabling higher product yields with lower energy consumption.
AmoMax 10 Plus, Clariant's new wustite catalyst for ammonia synthesis, increases activity and robustness against catalyst poisons, allowing for faster startups and lower energy consumption. These catalysts provide an integrated solution for improved performance and sustainability in syngas production, essential for addressing rising energy costs and carbon emissions challenges. The Plus series catalysts have been successfully implemented in more than 40 production plants worldwide, showcasing their positive impact on productivity and sustainability.
