Features Of Clariant ShiftMax 120 Catalyst

  1. Highly selective low-temperature water-gas shift (WGS) catalyst optimized for hydrogen production and CO cleanup.

  2. Exceptional resistance to sulfur poisoning and thermal sintering under industrial operating conditions.

  3. Stable activity over extended service life, enabling reduced catalyst replacement frequency and lower OPEX.

  4. Engineered with a proprietary copper–zinc–alumina formulation for rapid light-off and consistent performance across variable feed compositions.

  5. Designed for fixed-bed adiabatic reactors with flexible start-up/shutdown protocols and robust transient response.

Typical Applications Of Clariant ShiftMax 120 Catalyst

  1. Hydrogen production units in refineries and ammonia plants.

  2. Syngas conditioning for Fischer–Tropsch and methanol synthesis processes.

  3. CO reduction in fuel cell hydrogen purification trains (e.g., PEMFC feed gas).

  4. Carbon capture-ready reforming systems requiring deep CO conversion at moderate temperatures.

  5. On-purpose hydrogen generation for chemical manufacturing and electronics-grade H₂ supply.
