Issue 40/2015 - ShiftMax R 820S catalysts enable efficient coal chemical production

Clariant recently announced that its ShiftMax?820S series of pre-vulcanized sulfur-resistant shift catalysts has been successfully commercialized at Shanghai Huayi Energy & Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
, becoming the first application of this series of catalysts in China's industrial field
.

The new generation of ShiftMax?820S series sulfur shift catalysts uses patented pre-vulcanization technology, which can give coal chemical producers several advantages
.
During the start-up phase, the working environment
can be greatly improved by avoiding the use of flammable toxic agents such as carbon disulfide and dimethyl disulfide.
In addition, the product reduces the risk
of temperature fly-in and sulfide emissions during plant start-up and production.
The series also reduces start-up time by 1/3 compared to conventional vulcanization methods
.
In addition to saving time, it reduces the need for syngas and energy, making it possible
to operate more economically, efficiently and simply.
As part of a proven family of industrial catalysts for a wide range of coal-to-chemical applications and gasification technologies
.
Can be used
as a simple, ready-to-use solution without changing any equipment in the chemical plant.

In 2015, Shanghai Huayi Energy & Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
applied Clariant's ShiftMax?820S series of pre-sulfur to two methanol plants for the first time and successfully commercialized them
