Butanediol BDO THF GBL DMS process, Hydrogenolysis and Esterification technology

Johnson Matthey is the leading technology provider for butanediol plants worldwide. The DAVY™ butanediol process can produce in a single reaction train, varying ratios of three products; 1,4 butanediol (BDO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), Di-methyl succinate (DMS) and gamma butyrolactone (GBL). Hydrogenolysis is a reaction where hydrogen is added to a compound and breaks that compound’s bonds, forming two molecules as a result. Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ hydrogenolysis technology reacts hydrogen gas (H2) with a vapour-phase carbonyl compound. Esters are organic compounds characterized by the RCOOR’ functional group, and are most commonly derived from the reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols.

Hydrogenation technology

Hydrogenation is a key part of the oxo alcohols process for the production of oxo alcohols, where aldehyde produced by hydroformylation or aldolisation is hydrogenated to produce oxo alcohols.

Dehydrogenation technology

While various dehydrogenation pathways exist for different compounds, Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ technology focusses on alcohol dehydrogenation to yield an ester product.

Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) process

Johnson Matthey offers a well-established VCM technology which is recognised by industry as the most advanced acetylene-to-VCM process worldwide.

Hydrochlorination technology

Hydrochlorination involves adding hydrogen chloride across the multiple bond of an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ hydrochlorination technology focuses on alkyne (triple-bonded) reactants.

Fischer Tropsch technology

Johnson Matthey have collaborated with BP to produce our proprietary fixed-bed Fischer Tropsch (FT) technology – a simple and robust system which forms the heart of our gas-to-liquids (GTL) process.

CANS novel reactors technology

Johnson Matthey has developed a novel DAVY™ reactor design that provides increased efficiency whilst significantly reducing vessel sizes, equipment count and catalyst volumes.

Methanation technology

Our methanation technology, utilising our CRG catalysts , performs the key chemical transformation of syngas into SNG, and ensures the final product is of a suitable quality for injection into gas distribution networks.

Methanation catalysts

Methanation is the reaction by which carbon oxides and hydrogen are converted to methane and water. The reaction is catalysed by nickel catalysts. In industry, there are two main uses for methanation, to purify synthesis gas (i.e. remove traces of carbon oxides) and to manufacture methane.

Dimethyl ether process

DME is an alternative automotive fuel solution and can be used as fuel in diesel engines, gasoline and gas turbines. Johnson Matthey offers the DAVY™ DME process, which uses methanol feed, as an extension to our methanol flowsheet.

Methylamines process

Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ methylamines (MA) flowsheet is the most extensively licensed process of its kind in the world. As such, it is well-proven through extensive use across a majority of operating MA plants. We have continued to improve our process and today offer an improved derivative of our original design.

Oxo alcohols process

Johnson Matthey offers oxo-alcohol processes and a complete range of catalysts suitable for oxo-alcohol manufacture. The LP OxoSM technology is the world’s leading technology for use in the manufacture of oxo alcohols from olefins.

Natural detergent alcohols process

Johnson Matthey has licensed the greatest number of plants worldwide for the production of natural detergent alcohols (NDA), also known as fatty alcohols.

Monoethylene glycol (MEG) process

Our new process using proprietary catalyst developed by Johnson Matthey and East­man enables the production of MEG from methanol via formaldehyde. This offers a unique and exciting opportunity for methanol and/or formaldehyde pro­ducers who are interested in diversifying their product slate.

Propylene glycol process

Our DAVY™ glycerol to propylene glycol (GPG) process is a perfect fit for our DAVY biodiesel process as the by-product, glycerol, can be fed to an adjoining GPG plant.

Ethyl acetate process

This Johnson Matthey DAVY™ process is a breakthrough in ethyl acetate (EA) production. We have developed a process that is ideally suited for use with bio-based ethanol feeds and so offers an EA production route that is almost 100% carbon neutral.

Substitute natural gas (SNG) process

With over 20 years' experience, Johnson Matthey is the market leader in the supply of SNG catalysts and technology, with our DAVY™ licensed plants providing more than half of global SNG production.
