Topsoe has supplied market leading prereforming catalysts for more than 20 years. New catalysts are based on a combination of know-how ranging from fundamental studies to pilot plant testing.

Topsoe’s state of the art Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) are used to improve our knowledge on whisker carbon formation mechanisms, which in turn can be used to understand and improve catalyst operation limitations. Pilot plants are used to verify safe operation or operation limits for various feedstocks.

Low pressure drop is essential for efficient plant and reactor design. Topsoe has developed shape-optimised catalysts for small and large scale plants.
