Clariant supplies Lihuayi petrochemical catalysts

On April 6, Clariant announced that the company's catalyst business unit has won three new contracts from Lihuayi Group for its upcoming new petrochemical production unit
.

The comprehensive agreement includes three high-performance catalysts from Clariant for the production of ethylene, styrene and propylene
.
Among them, the ethylene catalyst is OleMax 101, which will be used in Lihuayi's olefin plant with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons to recover high-value olefins from cracked gas and waste gas streams
.
The OleMax 100 series catalysts are capable of removing multiple impurities such as acetylene, diolefins, oxygen, nitrogen oxides and heavy metals in a single reactor for cost-effective olefin production
.
Clariant's new StyroMax UL3 ribbed styrene catalyst is used in Lihuayi's new 720,000-ton-per-year styrene plant
.
The catalyst can efficiently produce styrene monomer due to its high activity under ultra-low water-oil ratio, excellent selectivity, and reliable performance
.
The designed Lihuayi propane dehydrogenation unit with an annual capacity of 600,000 tons will use Clariant's tailor-made Catofin catalyst and heating materials
.
Catofin is an extremely reliable dehydrogenation catalyst for the production of olefins, such as propylene or isobutylene, from light paraffinic feedstocks
.

Wang Jianji, Vice President of Clariant's Catalysts Business Greater China, said: "We are honored to be awarded this major project by Lihuayi Group
.
This is due to our strong commitment to meeting customer needs and comprehensive product line portfolio.
, able to optimally support the entire petrochemical production process of the new customer
