Superior stability in methanol synthesis
As the CO2 to methanol reaction results in a much higher level of water formation compared to more traditional routes, it is crucial to use a highly stable catalyst that can withstand the corrosive aqueous nature to maintain high activity and throughput throughout the catalyst lifecycle.
eMERALD 201
The eMERALD 201 catalyst for methanol synthesis utilises our latest combination of promoters, delivering superior hydrothermal stability and increased resistance to thermal sintering—the leading cause of catalyst deactivation and performance decline. These innovative promoters specifically target the catalyst components most vulnerable to hydrothermal ageing in the CO₂ to methanol synthesis process, ensuring excellent stability even in the most demanding operating environments.
The mechanical strength of methanol synthesis catalysts is one of the most important factors for reliable and efficient plant performance. Low mechanical strength can lead to a rapid increase in pressure drop, resulting in inefficient plant performance and even premature catalyst replacements.
The high mechanical strength of eMERALD 201 offers the robustness needed for the characteristically demanding operating conditions for direct CO2 to methanol production, thereby ensuring high plant availability and reliability.
In addition to high mechanical strength, eMERALD 201 is the methanol synthesis catalyst of choice due to:
