Sulfur burning,Ā metallurgical,Ā spent acid, andĀ wet gas sulfuric acid plantsĀ have trustedĀ MECSĀ® sulfuric acid catalyst products to reliably and economically convert SO2Ā to SO3 since 1925. As a world leader in sulfuric acid process technologies and catalyst production for nearly 100 years, our vast technical expertise and sulfuric acid production knowledge, coupled with our commitment to innovation, have enabled us to create a line of high-performance sulfuric acid catalysts for use in any type of converter.
Our research and development programĀ isĀ dedicated to maximizing overall plant operation and optimizing four key performance attributes ā activity, pressure drop, hardness and service life ā to yield the best sulfuric acid catalyst for every application.Ā By balancing these attributes, Elessent Clean Technologies has been able to create a full range of high-quality catalysts that are reliable and durable, maximize conversion while reducing SO2Ā emissions, and provide for optimum pressure drop and run time. These features allow MECSĀ®Ā high-performance catalystsĀ to boost plant capacity and improve efficiency.
With more than a hundred years of experience working in the sulfuric acid industry, we understand how plant requirements can vary from site to site. Therefore, we have developed a comprehensive line of catalysts suited for each plant’s unique energy consumption, production rate andĀ Ā SO2Ā emission needs.Ā
Simply make your selection from the following catalyst types based on your unique needs.Ā
This innovative sulfuric acid catalyst is characterized by its:
Geometrically optimized shape
Enhanced surface area
Activity improvement
Reduced pressureĀ drop
The GEARā¢ Seriesā distinctive hexa-lobed design reduces energy costs, extends operating time, boosts acid production, and reduces overall plant SO2Ā emissions. When incorporated into a new converter, GEARā¢Ā will provide for the lowest capital cost as well.
Our XLP Series enables low pressureĀ dropĀ and high conversion performance in all beds of the converter. XLP is the industry standard in sulfuric acid plants today.
Our cesium promoted line of products enables low plant stack emissions and lower ignition temperatures for faster plant startups.
