Munich/Germany – Clariant has recently announced that a deoxygenation catalyst from its Envicat Green series was selected for a major green ammonia project in China. The catalyst will be used to remove trace oxygen from green hydrogen produced at the facility, before conversion into green ammonia. Carbon-free production of ammonia greatly reduces the environmental impact of this valuable base chemical needed for vital applications, such as fertilizer production. Green ammonia is also expected to play a key role in the world’s energy transition, offering versatile applications in transportation, power, and hydrogen supply.

Clariant’s Envicat Green catalyst demonstrates an excellent gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), a ratio of the gas rate per unit of catalyst, facilitating efficient deoxygenation processes. Thus, the process requires a considerably smaller reactor for oxygen removal, which not only saves equipment costs, but also offers high flexibility regarding transportation and installation. As a result, producers benefit from significant Capex and Opex savings.
