An Experience of Substitution for Imported Steam Reforming Catalysts

Abstract

The performance of the Russian catalyst for steam conversion of hydrocarbons was monitored. The catalyst was produced at the Angarsk Plant for Catalysts and Organic Synthesis and operated in a hydrogen generation unit at the Syzran Refinery. The Russian catalyst was compared to the imported analog under the Rosneft program of import substitution. It was demonstrated under industrial conditions that the Russian catalyst is comparable in quality with the world standards.
