    A catalyst for all beds of any SO2 converter

    The VK38 formulation provides excellent activity over a wide range of operating conditions. VK38 is the only catalyst on the market that can be used effectively in all beds of any SO2 converter.

    Broad temperature range

    For continuous operation VK38 offers a broad temperature range of 400-630°C (750-1170°F) and can withstand repeated temperature spikes up to 650°C (1200°F). VK38 is designed to initiate the reaction at a temperature as low as 360°C (680°F), ensuring a smooth plant start-up, minimizing pre-heat time due to its superior catalyst activity.

    12 mm Daisy

    12 mm Daisy : improved energy efficiency throughout the operating cycle due to low initial pressure drop; 25 mm Daisy dust protection catalyst with 100% longer on-stream time compared to the 12 mm Daisy in dusty feed gases; 6 mm cylinder and 10 mm ring: ensure an even gas distribution in applications with very low velocity converters.

    Request Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

    Safety Data Sheets (SDS) also previous known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are documents providing health and safety information on the handling of chemical products. These documents are only available for Haldor Topsoe's catalysts on request and can be requested in the form below.
