HTSC Catalyst – sarv150

SARV-150 is a high-temperature water gas shift catalyst that combines high activity and thermal stability. Using a novel preparation method causes controlled synthesis of Fe-Cr-Cu catalyst with well-defined structural properties. SARV-150 catalysts effectively prevent Fischer-Tropsch by-product formation at low steam-to-gas conditions, providing robust performance. The superior activity, especially at lower temperatures, high selectivity, extended lifetime, and durability are the major benefits provided by SARV-150.

Process:
The water gas shift (WGS) reaction plays a major role in ammonia and hydrogen plants. The WGS reaction is a moderately exothermic reversible reaction, converting CO and water into additional H₂ and CO₂. The syngas (H₂, CO) is passed through a multi-stage, fixed-bed reactor containing shift catalysts to adjust the H₂/CO ratio and produce high-purity hydrogen. The high-temperature water gas shift reaction is performed at ~350–450°C over iron oxide-based catalysts, typically converting over 80% of the inlet CO. Efficient and reliable shift conversion is required to ensure the highest yield of hydrogen from the reformed hydrocarbons.
