C2 Post Hydrogenation Catalyst
The C2 post-hydrogenation process is a critical step in the purification of ethylene (C2H4) streams from steam crackers and Methanol-To-Olefins (MTO) plants, aiming to eliminate acetylene (C2H2) impurities for polymer-grade applications. The acetylene content must be reduced to below 5 ppm to meet polymer-grade ethylene specifications, while overhydrogenation of ethylene into ethane should be minimized to maximize ethylene yield and economic value.
Delion's advanced catalyst design ensures no losses of ethylene due to hydrogenation vs. the initial stream.
