en.Wedoany.com Reported - Clariant has launched its next-generation propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalyst, CATOFIN 1000. Building on the CATOFIN 310 series, this catalyst offers enhanced selectivity, productivity, and operational efficiency, extends catalyst life, and reduces tar precursors by 20%, thereby minimizing fouling and improving plant reliability.

CATOFIN 1000 is integrated with Clariant's CLARITY digital platform, providing 24/7 real-time performance data, advanced visualization, and continuous optimization tools to help operators enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, and safety.

Jace Wang, Vice President of Propylene at Clariant's Catalysts business unit, stated: "CATOFIN 1000 reflects our ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of catalyst innovation. With improved selectivity, productivity, and significantly reduced fouling, this advancement represents a major step forward for PDH technology."

CATOFIN technology is widely used in the production of olefins such as propylene and isobutylene. Combining Clariant's catalyst and heat-generating material with Lummus Technology's process, it is one of the key propylene production technologies. By reducing tar precursors, CATOFIN 1000 minimizes fouling-related disruptions, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances plant economics and long-term performance.

As propylene demand grows, CATOFIN 1000 will enable more efficient and sustainable production, with Clariant committed to supporting the next generation of high-performance PDH operations.
