Clariant has launched OleMax 260, a new selective hydrogenation catalyst with extremely high ethylene selectivity and operational stability. Specially developed for ethylene producers with "front-end" process configurations, OleMax 260 offers a new solution to increase yields and profits while ensuring safer and more sustainable operation.
OleMax 260 provides a near perfect selectivity to ethylene (close to 100 percent), resulting in significant economic benefit for the operator. Perhaps more important is the catalyst's ultra-high stability, which impedes thermal runaway reactions that can lead to unplanned production outages. The exceptional selectivity and consequent stability of OleMax 260 ensures reliable, on-specification performance over an unprecedentedly wide operating range, even at the extremely low CO levels typical of new cracking furnace technologies.
A further advantage of OleMax 260 is a faster, more sustainable start-up. The catalyst's simplified streaming procedure significantly reduces normal start-up-related hydrocarbon flaring and time to on-specification ethylene production.
OleMax 260 is optimized to operate in de-ethanizer overhead hydrogenation process configurations. It can be used in a new build or as a drop-in solution in an existing facility.
The first commercial start-up of OleMax 260 has been successfully achieved at the new ethylene production plant of The Dow Chemical Company in Freeport, Texas. To date, this state-of-the-art catalyst has delivered the superior performance and benefits expected.
