Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, has launched the OleMax 260, a new selective hydrogenation catalyst with extremely high ethylene selectivity and operational stability.
Specially developed for ethylene producers with “front-end” process configurations, OleMax 260 offers a new solution to increase yields and profits while ensuring safer and more sustainable operation.
OleMax 260 provides a near perfect selectivity to ethylene (close to 100%), resulting in significant economic benefit for the operator. Perhaps more important is the catalyst’s ultra-high stability, which impedes thermal runaway reactions that can lead to unplanned production outages. The exceptional selectivity and consequent stability of OleMax 260 ensures reliable, on-specification performance over an unprecedentedly wide operating range, even at the extremely low carbon monoxide (CO) levels typical of new cracking furnace technologies.
