    Choose FastAct for a super-charged catalyst activation

    Our service for ammonia synthesis catalyst activation, FastAct speeds up the activation process, and helps you realize the full potential of your plant in the 15-25 years lifetime of your catalyst. 

    The method and equipment that you use for ammonia synthesis catalyst activation will impact your catalyst and hereby your plant's performance. At Topsoe, we offer an advanced service, FastAct, for the activation of Topsoe's KM ammonia synthesis catalyst, that can help you overcome the hassles of catalyst activation. A key part of this service is our proprietary water and ammonia analyzer.

    FastAct - enabling a faster and better activation

    Our ammonia synthesis catalyst activation service is designed to help you achieve a faster and better activation through accurate online measurements, timely adjustments, and onsite support by Topsoe activation experts. 

    A crucial part of achieving an optimal catalyst activation is controlling the water content. A too-high water concentration will result in a non-optimal pore and crystal structure of the reduced catalyst, which will negatively affect the catalyst activity. Our proprietary online water and ammonia analyzer provides live measurements which allows you to super-charge your catalyst activation. This helps realize the full potential of your plant in the 15-25 years lifetime of the ammonia synthesis catalyst.

    The main benefits of FastAct

    Faster activation

    Faster activation

    leading to additional days of production.
    Higher production

    Higher production

    over the entire catalyst lifetime due to a higher catalyst activity.
    Minimized risk

    Minimized risk

    of damage to the catalyst, equipment, plant, and personnel.
    Less preparation

    Reduced workload

    on laboratory personnel during catalyst activation.

    Working with Topsoe

    We understand that time is valuable, and any delay in getting your plant up and running is lost production. With extensive experience in catalyst activation and our proprietary FactAct analyzer to assist us, we can carry out the activation efficiently, bringing you additional days of production. 

    Our on-site activation experts monitor and adjust activation conditions continuously to help ensure a safe and fast activation. We will make sure your plant personnel are trained in the basic of the activation procedure, including how to safely handle any incidents using well-established procedures. 

    On top of this, we have in-depth knowledge of all catalyst types used in ammonia plants, which enables us to provide further recommendations on other areas that could benefit from optimization. 

    Why not chose Topsoe as your partner for both technology, catalyst, and service?
