MegaMax™ 900 is Clariant’s latest generation of methanol synthesis catalysts. It is based on the well-proven MegaMax 800 that has provided the highest performance in all types of methanol synthesis reactors and feedstocks globally.
Compared to its predecessor, MegaMax 900 has an optimized formulation and is manufactured using a new, innovative production technique. This leads to a superior microstructure with increased physical robustness and more active sites. Consequently, the new methanol synthesis catalyst shows significantly higher activity and a longer lifetime.
The higher activity leads to an increased conversion rate, especially when operating at lower temperatures and lower loop pressure, thus providing higher lifetime productivity, less energy consumption, and a lower CO2 footprint.
