ReforMax LDP Plus - Novel steam reforming catalyst

ReforMax® LDP Plus series are a novel steam reforming catalysts for ammonia, hydrogen and methanol production.

The ReforMax LDP Plus series is designed with a larger hole diameter, which greatly improves heat transfer. Moreover, by significantly reducing pressure drop, the innovative reforming catalyst enables higher gas throughput, as well as considerable energy savings.

Syngas producers also benefit from the suppression of coke (carbon) formation, especially when ReforMax 330 LDP Plus is combined with ReforMax 210 LDP Plus.

New 8-hole flower shape for low pressure drop

Based on ReforMax LDP series, the new catalyst’s floral 8-hole shape lowers pressure drop by an additional 20% while maintaining a High Geometric Surface Area (GSA) offering high activity and selectivity.

ReforMax LDP Plus 8 hole floral shape enhances void fraction

The unique flower-like 8-hole shape of ReforMax 330 LDP Plus (standard) and ReforMax 210 LDP Plus (slightly alkalized) provides an enhanced void fraction which enables a significant lower pressure drop while retaining the outstanding activity of Clariant’s well known 10-hole ReforMax LDP catalyst series.

Outstanding catalyst activity due to high Geometric Surface Area (GSA)

The novel ReforMax LDP Plus shape retains the high surface area of Clariant’s standard LDP 10-hole shape resulting in an unchanged outstanding catalyst activity for the steam reforming reaction.
