SD supplies a number of catalysts for the petrochemical industry. These include the following:

SynDox for the oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide

  • High yield and selectivity over extended time
  • Applicable to existing ethylene oxide reactors regardless of process source
  • Variety of grades and sizes to suit various requirements
  • Stringent quality control
  • Reactor startup and ongoing reactor operation advisory services

SynDane for the oxidation of n-butane to produce maleic anhydride

  • High yield and selectivity over extended time
  • Applicable to existing fixed bed reactors regardless of process source
  • Stringent quality control
  • Reactor startup and ongoing reactor operation advisory services

SynDol for the dehydration of ethanol to produce ethylene

  • High yield
  • Best product quality
  • Long life
SD will provide catalyst for the above applications for use in SD licensed processes as well processes licensed from other licensors. SD engineers will hold detailed discussions with Plant personnel prior to supply of catalyst to confirm details and schedule, ensure that any special requirements are met, the catalyst order is correctly loaded into the reactors and optimal performance is obtained following start up.

Through creative research over more than 50 years SD has improved its catalyst products to be state-of-the-art which find application over a very large range of operating conditions. SD's products are used in a large number of plants, including some of the biggest plants built for that application, in many countries, yielding the highest quality products for our clients. SD recognizes that continual improvement is necessary for all its products and services in order to meet or exceed client expectations, and we continue to invest in research and development to ensure superior performance of our catalysts and in manufacturing technology to increase capacity to meet our clients' needs.
