High performance methanol catalysts and absorbents
Johnson Matthey’s methanol processes combine our most efficient technology with cutting edge catalysts and absorbents to maximise plant performance and reduce operating costs.
Our state-of-the-art KATALCO™ catalysts and absorbents, are synonymous with enhanced process performance, reliability in service and long life.
Our methanol flowsheets require 3 key stages:
Feedstock purification
An effective feedstock purification system is an essential step in the production of methanol and the increasing use of alternative feedstocks bring new contaminant challenges.
Our wide range of absorbents will ensure downstream catalysts and equipment are protected from harmful contaminants. This will prolong catalyst life, minimising changeouts and maximise your plant’s throughput and profitability.
Reforming
Johnson Matthey’s KATALCO reformer catalysts allow operators to process a wide range of feedstock compositions, extend turnaround cycles and prolong reformer tube life.
Methanol synthesis
Our KATALCO 51-series of methanol synthesis catalysts are pivotal to our methanol technologies. Over the years the KATALCO 51-series has been optimised to give increasing activity, selectivity, and stability. As the leading methanol catalyst supplier, our focus is delivering the best in the world performance for our customers.
