HySat Catalyst Innovation
Clariant's HySat catalyst platform is a significant advancement in hydrogenation processes, eliminating the use of hazardous hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). It matches or exceeds the performance of conventional catalysts and is applicable in various processes such as oxo-alcohol and fatty alcohol production. The catalyst's reliability is proven through commercial use and repeated sales, and it integrates easily into existing systems without equipment changes.
EDHOX Technology
Developed by Clariant and Linde, EDHOX Technology uses the OxyMax™ E catalyst to convert ethane and oxygen into polymer-grade ethylene and glacial acetic acid in a single step. Operating at temperatures below 400°C, the process is energy-efficient and reduces Scope 1 CO2 emissions by at least 60%. It offers CAPEX and OPEX advantages and is suitable for greenfield projects, retrofits, and downstream integration.
Awards and Recognition
Clariant received two awards at the 2025 Gulf Energy Information Excellence Awards. The HySat catalyst won "Best Catalyst Technology," while EDHOX Technology, co-developed with Linde, won "Best Petrochemical Technology." These awards highlight Clariant's commitment to sustainable and innovative solutions in the chemical industry.
