Topsoe launches new LTS catalyst for ammonia and hydrogen production

The new LTS catalyst LK-853 FENCE™ takes Topsoe’s world-leading position one step further.

Ground-breaking research within catalysts for ammonia and hydrogen production has resulted in a new generation of low methanol low temperature shift catalyst. Based on recent scientific advances and Topsoe’s unique FENCE™ technology, the LK-853 FENCE™ presents new opportunities for ammonia and hydrogen producers.

Extraordinary advantages
The new LK-853 FENCE™ catalyst will reduce operating costs, improve process efficiency and increase daily ammonia and hydrogen production.

The FENCE™ technology enables separation of nano-sized copper particles by multiple metal oxide barriers, thereby stabilising the catalytic active sites. The result is a state-of-the-art LTS catalyst providing superior activity, increased poison resistance and longer lifetimes.

Furthermore, the promoter content in LK-853 FENCE™ has been carefully optimised to inhibit by-product formation, minimising undesirable methanol formation.

“Almost 50 years of industrial experience as a leading supplier of LTS catalysts provides an invaluable basis for new catalyst developments. This new generation of low methanol LTS catalyst takes Topsøe’s world-leading position one step further, offering extraordinary advantages for ammonia and hydrogen producers, “ says Kristina Svennerberg, Marketing Manager, Shift and Synthesis Catalysts.
