Axens Offer
With over 170 commercial references, the Symphony® catalysts offers advantages, such as improved specific surface area retention.
Higher specific surface area is associated with improved regeneration (Pt re-dispersion) and better chloride retention. Consequently, the new catalysts exhibit longer catalyst life, reduced salt deposits in downstream units and lower chloride content in the hydrogen rich gas, resulting in longer chloride trap life, and lower green oil formation.
