Catalyst Services
Catalyst is an essential component of a Catalytic Oxidizer (CatOx), so ensuring that it is functioning properly is crucial for keeping your emissions within EPA standards. With annual catalyst testing, the life of your catalyst can be predicted with good accuracy. In some instances, tests will find a noticeable decrease in temperature rise, which can be directly proportional to a drop in the destruction efficiency. From experience, this often occurs between 30,000 and 50,000 operating hours, depending on a variety of factors.
The life of a catalyst is dependent on the type of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the amount and type of inorganic masking agents present, the number of times the catalyst has been cleaned, and the oxidizer's operating temperature. Typical catalyst masking agents are silicon, phosphorous, and base metals such as iron, lead, nickel, chrome, tin, and titanium.
The performance of the catalyst depends on how well the catalyst is maintained during its operational life. Let's look at how you can keep your catalyst properly maintained. CPI offers a broad range of laboratory testing services as well as field services, including the following:
- Ceramic VOC Catalyst Formulations
- Catalyst Testing and Service
- METAC All-Metal-Catalyst
Not every catalyst application is identical. Pressure requirements, particulate size, solvent types, concentrations, performance requirements, installation requirements all come into design consideration. Catalytic Products International offers over 100 different catalyst options to match the specific needs of your application.
The right chemistry forms the building blocks for an efficient catalyst. At CPI, our engineers have developed and refined our Catalyst Products to offer a highly dispersed, finely divided precious metal particle distribution over customized structures offering enormous surface areas.
The combined efforts of particle distribution and maximized surface area afford low operating temperatures, thermally stable operations, and long life.
CPI is a manufacturer of catalyst products, fume oxidation systems, heat recovery systems, energy conservation, maintenance and repair service, and engineering service since 1969. A partial list of Catalyst Products users include; nuclear power generation, turbine and boiler emission control, metal decorating, printing, food processing, semiconductor, chemical processing, petrochemical processing, gen-set emission control, among many others.
