Catalyst Testing and Toubleshooting
Industry challenge Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. produces amines for manufacture of rigid and exible polyurethane foams. These amines are produced via catalytic hydrogenation in a multi- purpose plant. Process variations that increase cycle time can impact production schedules and logistics, aecting the business. During one such hydrogenation run, a plant production engineer and a process chemist observed that a recent batch of heteroge
