    Methanol synthesis catalyst

    MK-121 methanol synthesis catalyst is developed to match the requirements of methanol producers today in an increasingly competitive market place. Based on an optimized copper dispersion, MK-121 ensures a high preservation of the initial high catalyst activity as well as an improved stability.

    Applications

    MK-121 offers a high flexibility in the operation allowing it to be used at a wide range of feed gasses, including gasses from:

    • Coal gasification

    • Reforming of natural gas or coke-oven gas

    MK-121 guarantees high conversion and carbon efficiency during a prolonged service life. Lower by-product level in the crude methanol is achieved by meticulous catalyst design and production.

    Technical specs

    • Size (mm): Ø6 x 4

    • Typical loading density (kg/m3): 1200–1300

    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.
