Evonik Launches Chlorocel™ 909 Chloride Adsorbent
- Chlorocel™ 909 uses a new blend of mixed metal oxides to increase chloride loading by over 15%.
- It is designed for catalytic reformer chloride guard beds in vapor or liquid phase applications.
- The extrudate design improves particle strength and maintains pressure drop.
- Chlorocel™ 909 complements existing products like Chlorocel™ 901 and 905.
Introduction
Evonik Catalysts has introduced Chlorocel™ 909, a new chloride adsorbent that enhances the company's Chlorocel™ product line. This product utilizes a proprietary blend of mixed metal oxides (MMO) to improve chloride loading by over 15% compared to industry alternatives.
Design and Functionality
Chlorocel™ 909 is engineered to remove inorganic chlorides from catalytic reformer chloride guard beds in both vapor and liquid phase applications. Its extrudate design enhances particle strength while maintaining an equivalent pressure drop, allowing for longer cycle lengths and reduced downtime.
Performance and Environmental Impact
The product doubles the service life compared to alumina-based alternatives, reducing reload frequency and waste generation. This leads to lower maintenance time and disposal costs, offering refiners greater operational flexibility.
Product Range
Chlorocel™ 909 complements Evonik's existing chloride adsorbents, including the alumina-based Chlorocel™ 901, zeolite-based Chlorocel™ 905, and single metal oxide Chlorocel™ RCL. The Chlorocel™ portfolio provides refiners with options to meet varying technological, operational, and regulatory needs.
