Alpha Methyl Styrene (AMS) Cumene Process
We offer catalysts for fixed bed hydrogenation of alpha-methyl styrene (AMS) to cumene. Our catalysts have an extensive record across multiple cumene manufacturing technologies and always provide exceptional activity with minimal by-product make.
Our AMS catalysts are palladium on alumina and designed to meet our customers high-performance requirements at a lower palladium loading than what is typically found in the industry.
Johnson Matthey is the world’s largest recycler of precious metals, enabling us to offer a complete closed loop package of metal sale, catalyst manufacturing and metal recovery.
