PTT Global Chemical has selected Avantium Catalysis to perform independent catalyst evaluation of naphtha reforming catalysts and support the catalyst selection for their CCR unit.
Avantium’s Flowrence® 16-parallel reactors system with individual temperature-control and unmatched discrimination capabilities allowed PTT GC to compare several catalysts options with their incumbent with as little as 20 L sample of their hydrotreated naphtha. Avantium was able to discriminate the various catalyst options by providing extremely precise and repeatable C5+ yields, total aromatics and hydrogen-produced data, as well as stability of the catalysts at constant RON output and complete PIONA breakdown with time on stream.
We are pleased to be a trusted partner of PTT GC for independent catalyst evaluation. Avantium is committed to providing our customers meaningful results to enable fact-based decisions and ultimately increase their competitiveness and profitability.
