NiSat™ is a series of highly selective catalysts for hydrogenation, hydro-finishing, and fuel or distillate upgrading. It is used in numerous applications including the production of caprolactam, methylbutanol, and cyclohexane, or in the hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol. The fixed-bed types are ideal for removing aromatic compounds or carboxyl groups, while the powders are best for slurry processes, such as conversion of nitriles to amines, or hydrogenation of resins and rosins.
All NiSat hydrogenation catalysts are available as oxides, or in a reduced and stabilized form. The latter form significantly reduces start-up times, thus improving overall plant output.
