Iranian-Made Ammonia Synthesis Catalysts Utilized in Hengam Petrochemical Methanol Synthesis Reactor
Hengam Petrochemical company with the capacity of producing 2,200 tons of ammonia per day is located in South Pars Special Economic Zone (Phase 2 Petrochemical Projects). In 2007, this petrochemical complex signed a license purchase contract and the basic engineering package of its ammonia unit with a Danish company. But, after several years now, the ammonia unit of the complex has entered the production phase with the catalysts of one of the Iranian technology companies.
After examining Iran's catalysts market, Hengam Petrochemicals gave the production, loading and commissioning of its Methanato and LTS reactors to an Iranian technological company, considering the suitable performance of its ammonia synthesis catalysts in the trial and industrial phases.
A complicated technology has been used to produce the LTS catalysts employed in Hemgan Petrochemicals. These catalysts were produced by experts at the knowledge-based Iranian company after conducting continuous research and passing successful trial phases. They are currently loaded and launched in the reactors of the Hengam petrochemical ammonia unit.
In ammonia production plants, in order to avoid poisoning of ammonia synthesis catalysts, it is necessary to remove tiny amounts of carbon oxides from the synthesis gas. Therefore, Methanation catalysts are very important as they are considered as protectors of ammonia synthesis reactor catalysts.
Operating in the field of catalyst production, this technology company opened in 2010. Nanocatalysts for oxidative desulfurization of liquid fuel, natural gas reforming catalysts, low and high temperature transfer catalysts, and natural gas steam reforming catalysts are among the products of the company.
According to a report by the Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council (INIC), the nanocatalysts produced by this technological company have been employed in various industries such as Sabalan and Pardis Petrochemicals, Mobarakeh Steel, Pars Steel Sabzevar Company, Khuzestan Steel, Gol Gohar Industrial and Mining Company, Ghadir Iron & Steel Co., Khorasan Steel, Kermanshah Petrochemicals, Bistoon Petrochemicals and Khark Petrochemicals Complex.
