Selective Acetylene Hydrogenation Catalysts for Ethylene Plants with "Tail-End" Configurations
OleMax™ 200 Series
Edition Date :
December 05, 2024
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.
