    LK-801 Catalyst

    AmmoniaHydrogen
    Checkmark

    Copper-based catalyst.

    Checkmark

    Performs water-gas shift reaction.

    Checkmark

    Proven, reliable plant performance.

    Checkmark

    High mechanical crush strength.

    Low temperature shift catalyst

    LK-801 is Topsoe’s first generation LTS catalyst. Similar to our other LTS catalysts, it is based on oxides of copper, zinc, and aluminum. 

    Application

    LK-801 is used in ammonia and hydrogen plants for the conversion of carbon monoxide via the water-gas shift reaction.

    Competitive performance 

    The activity of LK-801, though not as high as that of Topsoe’s standard and premium LTS catalysts, has demonstrated its ability to optimize plant performance for decades at numerous plants worldwide.

    High mechanical strength

    LK-801 and its successors (LK-821-2, LK-823 and LK-853 FENCE™) are manufactured to ensure the highest possible crush strength, resulting in a low and stable pressure drop throughout the catalyst lifetime.

    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.
