Hydrogenation

We Have Everything You Need for Fixed-Bed Hydrogenation
Raw materials access, reactor capability, technology and experience – Dow Haltermann has it all when it comes to hydrogenation.

Bring us a sample of your feedstock, and we will evaluate it in our lab-stirred reactor. We also can evaluate it using our continuous computer-controlled R&D fixed-bed reactor. To assure scale-up accuracy, we will generate a kinetic model (including distillation), and we’ll provide you with samples of your finished product for validation.

Dow Haltermann has fixed-bed hydrogenation available at our Middlesbrough site. The smaller units can be used for pilot plant evaluation and test runs before scaling up to full production.

Reactor beds can be isolated so that the catalyst can be reused for future campaigns. And with pipeline hydrogen available on site, raw materials are accessible and economical.
