Enzymes are fast becoming the chemical catalyst of choice for baking ingredient suppliers. And it's hardly surprising. With all the investment that's pouring into enzyme research and development, these chemical catalysts now come in a growing assortment of specialized applications. In several baking processes, the use of the new generation...
A major Gulf Coast refinery experienced a significant decrease in the activity of their hydrotreating catalyst. The hydrotreater feedstock was primarily composed of distillate from the refinery's delayed coker unit. It was theorized that the loss in activity was caused by silicon contamination. The silicon deposits on the surface of...
While Sarbanes-Oxley is often cited as just another regulatory headache, smart companies are using the legislation as the catalyst to significantly improve their businesses processes and long-term competitive position. In this audiocast, BNET Director Jay Gulick talks to IDC's Kathleen Wilhide about how to use the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as...
Processes now used in the new generation of hydrogen plants make a wide choice of catalysts necessary in order to meet the requirements of particular systems. This paper describes the capabilities of some of these catalysts. This has been explained with the help of few case studies.
The EBZ-500 catalyst has raised catalyst performance, achieving not only greater purity in the ethylbenzene produced and, consequently, in styrene monomer, but also in extended reactor runs and favorable investment costs has been explained in this article. Ethylbenzene is the raw material used mainly to produce styrene monomer SM. Ethylbenzene...
The project objectives are to reduce NOx and CH4 emission by 95% from lean burn natural gas engines and reduce supplemental fuel use by 80%. The main advantages are energy efficient, rich fuel pulses are generated within individual catalysts and engine optimization achieved without compromising individual catalyst. For exothermic reactions...
With an understanding of the past, one can gain a better understanding of the possibilities of the future about what might happen. Once the possibilities are identified, one can better choose to make the desired possibilities become realities while preventing the undesirable from happening. On the basis of past experience...
Potential causes of deactivation of the natural-gas reforming catalyst were considered, namely temperature excursions, contact with steam, presence of sulphur compounds, build up of carbon deposits, duration of running, and reducing or oxidizing species in the gas phase. These factors were included in the design of a matrix of accelerated...
From the executive summary: ‘Catalyzing change begins with knowing oneself. It is impossible to be an effective change catalyst without knowing and understanding oneself. In the absence of authentic self-awareness, it is impossible for a person to determine where his/her unswerving commitment to positive change ends and urgent desire to...
The dechlorination of chloroorganic compounds from PVC-containing mixed plastic-derived oil was studied over iron oxide and iron oxide-carbon composite catalysts. The catalysts are characterized by nitrogen adsorption and X-ray diffraction. The catalysts are deactivated initially due to the adsorption of HCl gas that is produced during the reaction. Continuous adsorption...
The paper describes a project whose purpose was to further develop the novel reforming process by studying catalyst and absorber materials with the goal of identifying materials with lifetimes in excess of 5,000 hours. GE Energy and Environmental Research Corporation EER is developing a novel steam reforming process to convert...
