All products and services

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.

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.

New processes

Expansion of our DAVY™ process portfolio is a key element of our business strategy, and this is accomplished by a combination of in-house developments, acquisition and collaborative programmes.

De-aromatisation catalysts

Depending on feedstock, operating conditions and desired end product specification, our experienced technical specialists will advise you on the most appropriate HTC type - or a combination thereof.

Arsine removal absorbents

The PURASPEC product range contains a specially designed absorbent which is selective for the removal of arsine from natural gas streams. PURASPEC material is proven in the field for the last 15 years for arsine removal from natural gas streams.

Dehydrogenation catalysts

Johnson Matthey offers a variety of different dehydrogenation catalysts for different markets, including the manufacture of caprolactam and olefins.

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.

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.

Hydrogenation catalysts

Explore Johnson Matthey's hydrogenation catalysts, offering base metal and precious metal solutions for selective and total hydrogenation applications.

Fischer-Tropsch

Johnson Matthey manufactures and offers a cobalt based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Our extensive experience in catalysts and catalyst manufacture makes Johnson Matthey the ideal partner to manufacture your proprietary Fischer-Tropsch and other catalysts.

Ammonia synthesis catalysts

Johnson Matthey offers high-performance ammonia synthesis catalysts, including KATALCO™ series, ensuring long lifetimes and efficient ammonia production.

Hydroformylation technology

Hydroformylation is the process by which an olefin (alkene) reacts with syngas (CO and H2) to form an aldehyde. Also commonly known as the “Oxo” process, hydroformylation is the first step in the production of oxo alcohols with the intermediate aldehyde converted to an alcohol by hydrogenation.

Acetylene conversion catalysts

We offer catalysts for selective hydrogenation, for both ethylene plant configurations: front-end and tail-end.

MAPD conversion catalysts

The removal of MAPD from crude propylene produces polymer grade propylene. We offer catalysts for MAPD converters configured as vapour phase or liquid phase reactors, to suit the plant's needs.

Total saturation catalysts

We offer a range of palladium and nickel based catalysts for total saturation duties.

Pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation catalysts

Reforming technologies (ATR, GHR, SMR)

Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ reforming technologies transform natural gas into synthesis gas (syngas, predominantly CO, CO2 and H2) . Syngas is a feedstock for the DAVY gas to liquids (GTL) and methanol processes.

Sulphur oxide reduction FCC additives

Johnson Matthey’s SUPER SOXGETTER and LO-SOX PB families of SOx reduction additives have been developed to decrease the cost of removing SOx from the FCC flue gas in full burn, partial burn and two-stage regenerators.

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.

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.
