CATOFIN™
Clariant’s CATOFIN catalyst is tailor-made for the production of on-purpose propylene via CATOFIN technology. Based on the Houdry process of catalytic cracking, CATOFIN technology and catalysts allow highly efficient dehydrogenation of isobutane, n-butane, or propane to isobutylene, n-butenes, or propylene, respectively. The reliable, proven process uses fixed-bed reactors and operates at optimum pressure and temperature to maximize catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes for high yields of alkenes at low costs.
In operation at numerous propylene facilities worldwide, CATOFIN technology is exclusively licensed by our process partner, Lummus Technology, while the catalysts are solely produced and supplied by Clariant.
