Chlorine guards

Safeguard your plant's operation

Chlorine in feedstocks can pose a serious threat to ammonia and hydrogen plant productivity if allowed to poison downstream catalysts or foul equipment.

By effectively absorbing any inorganic chlorine your feedstocks might contain, Topsoe chlorine guards protect your downstream catalysts and safeguard your plant’s operations.

Catalysts for Chlorine removal

LSK-2 catalyst

LSK-2 is a guard catalyst designed to protect the MTS and LTS catalysts against chlorine for many years.

HTG-10 catalyst

Potassium and alumina-based high capacity chloride absorbent used for removal of hydrogen chloride in gaseous streams.

Applications within this area

Arsenic removal

We offer a number of highly efficient arsenic-trap catalysts that catch and accumulate arsenic many times more effectively than conventional hydrotreating catalysts.

Nickel and vanadium removal

Topsoe offers a very comprehensive portfolio of guard catalysts that effectively trap nickel and vanadium before they reach your high-activity main catalyst.

Phosphorus removal

Our proven hydrodemetalization (HDM) loading schemes will protect your reactor with the industry's highest phosphorus uptake.

Silicon removal

Developing catalysts with superior silicon capacity, we can help you tailor your loading scheme to guard against silicon and maximize cycle lengths.

Sulfur guards

Remove hydrogen sulfide and other sulfurous compounds at temperatures below 150°C (300°F) with our very high capacity sulfur guards.
