Clariant expands emissions control catalyst capacity to meet growing global demand

July 26, 2021 Clariant Catalysts is expanding and enhancing its emissions control catalyst capabilities to meet growing global demand, especially in China
.
The company just recently started operations at another upgraded production facility in Heufeld, Germany, equipped with state-of-the-art production equipment dedicated to emission control catalysts
.
Catalyst production capacity has been ramped up, with sales up 100% compared to 2019
.
The site now includes two installations with a total area of ​​1500 square meters
.
The factory operates under strict quality control and is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 standards
.

Stefan Heuser, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Clariant's Catalyst Division, said: "As government emission control standards tighten around the world, our customers can rely on an adequate supply of our innovative EnviCat catalysts to efficiently and cost-effectively meet the most stringent targets
.
"

Clariant's EnviCat emission control catalysts are proven to remove harmful compounds with conversion efficiencies as high as 99% or higher
.
These catalysts are suitable for exhaust emission reduction in a variety of applications, from chemical production plants to stationary engines and turbines
.
The EnviCat family includes catalysts for the removal of a variety of harmful emissions, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia
.

Global demand for Clariant's emissions control catalysts has increased dramatically, especially in China, where stringent new regulations have been introduced to improve air quality
.
In 2020 and the first half of 2021, 56 chemical producers in the country decided to upgrade their chemical production facilities with Clariant emission control catalysts
.
Strong growth came from emissions control in applications such as propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and acrylic acid, acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) production
.
Here, Clariant's advanced technologies help customers meet stringent government emission control standards and sustainability regulations
.

The Heufeld plant is Clariant's largest catalyst research site and its second largest production site
.
The plant's product portfolio includes more than 500 emission control catalysts, such as EnviCat VOC for the removal of volatile organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and carbon monoxide
.

EnviCat® is a trademark of Clariant registered in many countries
