Risun uses Clariant catalysts to increase production capacity

Sinochem News recently, Risun Group announced that the group's new styrene monomer plant in Tangshan has achieved excellent productivity after adopting Clariant Styro Max UL3 catalyst, exceeding the nominal design capacity of the plant by 120%
.

Since the plant started up smoothly and smoothly with the catalyst in October 2020, it has achieved good output and achieved profitable operation
.
This project is a cooperation project between Clariant Catalyst and Changzhou Ruihua Chemical Engineering Technology Co.

Stefan Heuser, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Catalysts Business Unit at Clariant, said: "Based on the current catalyst performance, the plant is expected to continue operating at high production rates of 120% and above, while simultaneously achieving a super-high production rate of 1.
1 wt/wt.
Operation at low water to oil weight ratios is the lowest record of any operating plant using the Ruihua process
.
This also makes the Xuyang plant extremely energy efficient to operate

He introduced that the new generation of StyroMax UL3 series catalysts can promote the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene under ultra-low water-oil ratio conditions
