Clariant Launches New Styrene Catalyst To Boost Production Yields. Cut Costs

摘要

Munich— Clariant has unveiled its new high-performance ethyl benzene dehydrogenation catalyst, which will allow producers to increase production yields while decreasing costs. The StyroMax UL3 catalyst's proprietary design allows it to achieve outstanding activity and selectivity at conditions of ultra-low steam-to-oil ratio (also know as steam-to-hydrocarbon ratio, SHR). This results in the production of styrene monomer "far more efficiently" than many other state-of-the-art catalysts, Clariant noted.
