Ammonia Catalyst Series Guide

In August 2024, the FeMo catalyst Syamcat JQ116 successfully passed a single tube evaluation requested by a Russian customer. After seven days of continuous testing, the evaluation report indicated excellent performance in the production process, with the target output exceeding expectations. The positive results were highly appreciated by the customer, leading to a prompt decision to sign the contract.

Syamcat Z317/Z318 steam reforming catalysts play a critical role in refinery hydrogen production units. In April 2024, Syamcat provided on-site technical services for catalyst loading in a 20,000 Nm³/h hydrogen unit, ensuring optimal performance and receiving high praise from the end user for their professional service.

Avant Company revolutionizes industrial gas production with its SYAMCAT Z428Q/Z429Q catalysts. These catalysts feature self-regenerating technology, simplifying operations, shortening startup times, and improving efficiency. Their high reducibility ensures rapid reaction initiation and stable production while reducing energy consumption and emissions. Recognized for innovation and reliability, SYAMCAT catalysts provide efficient, eco-friendly solutions for industrial gas production.

Avant's SYAMCAT Z428Q/SYAMCAT Z429Q catalyst series transforms industrial gas production with superior flow performance and minimal pressure drop. By integrating CO2 adsorption, it enhances hydrogen purity and lowers energy use. With advanced Ni-based catalysts and efficient adsorbents like CaO and lithium salts, it sets new eco-friendly standards, reducing emissions and improving efficiency markedly.

For steam reforming, noble metal catalysts show high activity due to strong methane activation and hydrogen evolution abilities, but their high cost hinders industrial-scale use. Among non-noble metal catalysts, Ni, Co, and Fe are key components, ranked in activity as Ni > Co > Fe. Nickel-based catalysts, with their comparable activity to noble metals and much lower cost, are especially promising for industrial applications.

The generation of high-temperature water vapor or hydrogen prompts the conversion of most sulfur compounds to H2S, which subsequently adsorbs onto active sites, resulting in catalyst poisoning.

In methane steam reforming reactions, catalyst deactivation primarily occurs due to three factors: poisoning deactivation, coking deactivation, and sintering deactivation.

For expert guidance on mitigating chlorine-induced catalyst poisoning and optimizing hydrogen production processes, rely on SYAMCAT's seasoned team of catalyst specialists.

Among them, steam methane reforming (SMR) in natural gas hydrogen production is the most established hydrogen production technology globally, constituting roughly 70% of global hydrogen production.

It's also worth highlighting the efficacy of SYAMCAT steam reforming catalyst in mitigating catalyst deactivation and enhancing process efficiency.
