SELECTIVE ACETYLENE HYDROGENATION CATALYSTS FOR ETHYLENE PLANTS WITH "TAIL-END" CONFIGURATIONS

OleMax® 200 series catalysts are developed for selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene in tail-end process configurations. Thanks to their outstanding performance, excellent stability and long operating cycles, the catalysts help producers increase ethylene yield and total profitability while reducing operating costs.

The promoted-palladium catalysts have a long record of performance at ethylene plants throughout the world, where they are used for a variety of feedstocks. We offer a choice of catalysts in different shapes and sizes, which are tailored to meet the unique needs of each operating plant.

Benefits
