    Purification | Methanol

    Effective feedstock purification is critical for achieving the high downstream catalyst performance and high on-stream factor your methanol plant requires.

    Common impurities such as sulfur, heavy metals, chlorine and unsaturated hydrocarbons pose serious threats to efficient operation. Removing these impurities places heavy demands on your feedstock purification setup and requires a comprehensive, high-quality purification process.

    If your purification setup is not fully optimized, impurities will continue downstream. If low-quality catalysts are used, these can send their own impurities downstream, defeating the purpose of feedstock purification.

    Haldor Topsoe is the market’s leading provider of high-quality methanol purification processes and catalysts. Our solutions are individually tailored to meet your specific needs. Our portfolio will help you achieve maximum feedstock purity and the operational and business benefits that go with it.
