HDMax® 301 hydrogenation catalyst
HDMax® 301 is a hydrogenation catalyst with nickel and molybdenum as the catalytically active chemistry. Its tailored composition is suitable for selected feed streams and

Desulfurization is necessary to protect the nickel steam reforming catalyst in the production of synthesis gas or hydrogen from natural gas. Natural gas typically contains H₂S and/or organic sulfur compounds or odorants. In a preliminary hydrodesulfurization step using the HDMax® 200 or HDMax® 300 catalyst, the sulfur from the organic sulfur compounds or odorants is released as H₂S. This H₂S is then removed via chemisorption using the H₂S adsorber ActiSorb® S2, reducing the concentration to <0.1 ppmv. For low mercaptan and H₂S concentrations, ActiSorb® G1 can be used, which combines hydrodesulfurization and H₂S chemisorption in a single product.
We supply the following catalysts for desulfurization in the production of synthesis gas:
