FAMAX™ catalysts are used for partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde in fixed-bed tubular reactors. A broad portfolio of different catalyst types and shapes offer optimum solutions for all plant technologies and operating conditions. FAMAX catalysts are designed with a multi-layer approach tailored to the individual plant conditions. This ensures optimal catalyst activity and maximizes production performance and lifetime of the catalyst.
