Performance of the C207 methanol catalyst at Nanjing Catalyst Factory
Thread Content
Has anyone used the C207 methanol catalyst from Nanjing Catalyst Factory? How effective is it? Please share your comments: handshake :handshake
Our plant’s 80,000 t/a methanol production has always used C207, with quite good results. It just needs to be sifted before loading, as there is a lot of dust.
Our factory has just started using it; it will be connected to the grid this evening during the heating and reduction process, and we’ll know more shortly!
For our plant’s 70,000 t/a methanol production process, medium-pressure methanol has always been produced using Nanhua C207, and the results have been quite good. It’s just that the price is high; our company currently has a set of 20,000-ton units using Liuhua technology. For high-pressure methanol, use Nanhua C301.
Response regarding excessive dust: (1) The misconception about catalyst strength: Many manufacturers emphasize the strength of catalysts when purchasing them, but this is a misplaced focus. The strength of the final product has little impact on production; what truly matters is the uniformity of the catalyst. Since the strength of a catalyst after reduction is quite low, it needs a uniform structure to provide support (this is why the rate of pressure change needs to be controlled). The standard lateral compressive strength for C207 is 145 N/CM; if this value is too high, two problems arise: first, the activity of the catalyst decreases, and second, there are issues related to the flow rate of gases during the reduction process.
