Lower your carbon footprint

Utilizing more of the available greenhouse gas CO₂ in HyCO plants has long been associated with challenges and limitations due to carbon formation. Now Topsoe has developed a new technology where you can utilize significant amounts of CO2, without the risk of carbon formation. This is achieved by introducing only few equipment to a conventional HyCO plant layout.

Novel carrier catalyzing optimal performance

Safe and reliable operation of the syngas plant is key to any owner. A well-functioning steam methane reformer (SMR) can greatly impact the on-stream performance because it is one of the most complex unit operations in the plant.

Uncover and solve issues affecting catalyst and plant performance

Most of the time our catalysts and processes operate very smoothly, yet suboptimal performance can occur from time to time. Since most issues have multiple root causes – usually originating in external factors – the process of solving an issue can be difficult and complex.

Valuable Insight and Trimming of Your Steam Reformer

Topsoe’s Steam Reformer Assessment/Optimization service is a proven means of ensuring optimal performance and profitability, whether you produce ammonia, hydrogen, methanol or syngas.

Get Your Plant off to a Faster, Safer, and more Profitable Start

Starting up your plant is a complicated and time-consuming procedure that involves monitoring numerous parameters and ensuring the right start-up sequencing. If not performed correctly, delays or even damage to your catalysts and plant can result.

ORYX GTL partners with Topsoe for efficiency and profitability

Fischer Tropsch derived diesel is a premium fuel that reduces vehicle emissions and engine wear substantially. When Qatar Petroleum and Sasol embarked on building the world’s first large scale Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) plant using Sasol® Low Temperature Fischer- Tropsch (LTFT™) technology aimed at diesel production, choosing an extraordinary partner was essential.

Going the extra mile

Would you like to maximize uptime and achieve a high reliability in your oxygen-fired reformer? Topsoe HTZR tiles combined with our RKA-10/RKS catalyst loading scheme help you accomplish just that. Tailored for long-term use, high stability, and low pressure drop this solution will be an investment in your future operation.

Strengthen the operation of your reformer

Topsoe’s heat exchange reformer catalyst RC-87 HEAT-XTM is uniquely designed for the conditions in Topsoe’s HTCR, HTER, TBR, and other heat exchange reformer designs.

LTS catalysts for higher plant profits

Whether you operate an ammonia plant or a hydrogen plant, the performance of your low temperature shift catalyst is critical. Our LK-821-2 and LK-823 LTS catalysts deliver exceptional performance that will maximize your plant’s profitability.

A key front in the battle for efficiency

Profitable ammonia and hydrogen production requires high CO conversion at the lowest possible operating costs. Our LK-853 FENCE™ low temperature shift catalyst delivers exceptionally well on both counts.

Safeguarding your reformer

With the RK-500 TITAN™ we have combined the superior carbon resistance of our well-performing conventional alkali catalysts with the unmatched stability of our recently introduced low pressure drop RC-67 TITAN™ in a new catalyst which is the future choice of the industry.

The first choice for secondary reforming

The mechanical and physical demands on secondary reformer catalysts are higher than anywhere else in your plant. Topsoe’s catalysts for air-blown secondary reforming help you navigate these demands and keep your plant operating smoothly.

Take the pressure off your secondary reformer

Optimal performance from the secondary reformer is necessary to keep your plant operating smoothly. Topsoe’s combination of RKS and RKC catalysts for air-blown secondary reforming make this happen by mitigating the risk of excessive pressure drop increase and minimizing downtime

You're in charge

Plant optimization has long been limited by a minimum steam-to-carbon requirement imposed by conventional high temperature shift catalysts. With the new SK-501 FlexTM, this limitation is removed, giving you the flexibility you need to achieve maximum profitability.

Superior steam reformer catalyst loading

The way catalysts are loaded into your steam reformer can affect performance for years, and SpiraLoad™ technology optimizes the process

Protect against pressure drop buildup

Impurities upstream of shift reactors can lead to rapid pressure drop increases, which contribute significantly to inefficient operation and premature catalyst replacements. TK-20 is a simple and elegant solution to this problem, trapping impurities and keeping your operating costs down.

Uncompromising protection

Syngas production poses many threats to catalyst activity and longevity. The TK-240 deals with all these threats by efficiently converting organic sulfur, chlorine and even olefins to substances that are harmless to downstream catalysts.

Protect yopur catalysts against sulfur poisoning

Feed purification is a must in order to protect your downstream catalysts from poisons in the hydrocarbon feedstock. With the TK-250 hydrogenation catalyst from Topsoe, you can convert the poisons efficiently while also protecting against pressure drops caused by other impurities.

Superior syngas hydrogenation

The main pitfalls in syngas hydrogenation are insufficient conversion plus poisoning and deactivation of downstream catalysts. Avoid these pitfalls with the TK-261 from Topsoe.

More performance for your plant

Chemical plant processes are complex and filled with potential sources of inefficiency. Our technical services get to the root of the problem and improve catalyst, equipment and overall plant performance.

Catalysing the energy transition

Acritical part of confronting the need to combat climate change is the decarbonisation of industrial processes. Hard-to-abate industries, characterised by their substantial carbon footprints and intricate production processes, stand as some of the trickier challenges on the road to achieving net zero emissions.

Electrical reverse water gas shift by eREACT™

Utilization of CO₂ is a requirement for a sustainable production of carbon-based chemicals. Reverse water gas shift (RWGS) can valorize CO2 by reaction with hydrogen to produce a synthesis gas compatible with existing industrial infrastructure. Fully electrified reverse water gas shift by eREACT™ was achieved using catalyzed hardware with integrated ohmic heating and a non-selective catalyst at industrially relevant conditions.

No carbon, more reforming

W4hen reforming heavy feedstocks, such as naphtha, a catalyst with alkali promoters is needed to prevent carbon formation. With the RK-600R TITAN™/RK-600 TITAN™ we are building on the successful RK-500 TITAN™ to get a perfect balance between activity, carbon
