Carbon-Neutral Catalyst

AERONITE

AERONITE catalysts are produced using a specially structured AERONITE carrier and our proprietary DVI (Direct Vacuum Injection) process, which maximizes the active surface area of ​​the supported metals. We can deliver these catalysts at short delivery time and competitive cost.

AERONITE Catalyst Carrier

This is a new catalyst carrier made using a new manufacturing method. This is a spherical carrier composed of a bimodal structure that has both large pores and micro pores inside them. By optimizing the microstructure to match the optimal reaction rate, which differs for each chemical reaction, it is possible to realize reactions that were previously impossible. This catalyst carrier has a structure that can be adapted to various materials, such as Al2O3, which has excellent heat resistance and stability, and TiO2 and CeO2, which are highly reactive. Since it is mainly manufactured using the tumbling granulation method, it can achieve high sphericity and high loading, and by optimizing the particle size distribution, it can be adapted to various reaction device shapes.

Ni-Pd (for Methanation)

This is a highly efficient catalyst that converts CO2 into Methane, with an excellent structure of the AERONITE carrier developed with a new formula. It boasts a conversion of CO2 to Methane over 90% at a low temperature of 350℃. It has an optimal structure that allows the reaction gas generated inside the pores to be quickly discharged outside the system. It is a highly robust newly developed catalyst that is resistant to input fluctuations in the raw material CO2 and has coking resistance. [Patent pending]

Features

  • High efficiency
  • High selectivity (The amount of CO production is almost zero)
  • High durability (heat resistance, coking resistance)

Applications

  • Methanation

Ni (for Steam Reforming)

This is a catalyst with an excellent structure of the AERONITE carrier that reacts methane, propane, etc. with steam to extract H2. It has strong resistance to coking, which is the most problematic property in steam reforming reactions, and is highly robust and can be used in DSS (Daily Start and Stop) operation. We have a lineup of products can be adapt from small particle size for small reformers to large reformers that require high strength.

Features

  • High efficiency
  • High durability (heat resistance, coking resistance)

Applications

  • Steam Reforming

Mn-Pd (for Reverse Water Gas Shift)

This is a catalyst that selectively converts carbon CO2 into CO. It is caharacterized by highly selectivity and extrememely low amount of by-product methane. It is possible to produce CO with high efficiency, which is used as an initial raw material for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FT synthesis), which is attracting attention as a CO2 utilization application such as SAF production. [Patent pending]

Features

  • High efficiency
  • High selectivity (The amount of CH4 production is almost zero)
  • High durability (heat resistance, coking resistance)

Applications

  • Reverse Water Gas Shift

Pd (for Hydrogenation)

This is a catalyst that improves hydrogen purity by removing trace amounts of oxygen from hydrogen and also adjust gas composition by hydrogen unssaturated hydrocarbons. Since this catalyst has extremely high activity, high purity of the product can be easily achieved by installing it at the front end of a reactor or at the outlet of the product gas.

Features

  • High efficiency
  • High durability

Applications

  • Remove O2
    (purification of hydrogen)
  • Hydrogenation of
    unsaturated hydrocarbons
