FlexCatTM, a New Custom High-Performance Specialty Catalyst Material from Unifrax
Unifrax, Clearlake | April 22, 2021
Unifrax, the main maker of elite strength materials, today presented FlexCat™ by Unifrax, another high-surface territory adaptable media intended to give improved impetus viability expanded yield utilizing less crude materials. For use in power modules, strength gas creation, compound handling, air refinement, and different applications, FlexCat offers catalyzers and modern accomplices better execution, significant expense investment funds, and improved wellbeing for workers.
"Unifrax keeps on pursuing its main goal to give greener, cleaner, and more secure answers for our clients and accomplices. FlexCat is a progressive advance forward for modern catalysis that follows through on those three columns"
A game-changing answer for strength impetus markets
With numerous ventures as of now depending on alumina pellets to drive synergist responses, strength substance organizations frequently wrestle with slowed-down responses as a result of stopped-up materials, huge forthright speculations, and critical space prerequisites. They are likewise compelled to battle with ecologically unsafe discharges. To address these issues, Unifrax has planned a sinewy impetus support arrangement that is multiple times lighter on normal than the business standard, while utilizing essentially less valuable metal impetuses and uncommon earth metals to drive an increment in yield while improving virtue. This considers expanded yield utilizing existing hardware and empowers a more modest reactor impression for plans. FlexCat can be fused into existing plant outflow control frameworks to drive lower carbon impressions and permitting clients to meet harder Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
"FlexCat is a progressive contribution as a lightweight, modified item structure that is amazingly solid in the unforgiving conditions ordinarily experienced in numerous reactors," said Chad Cannan, senior VP of innovative work, Unifrax. "FlexCat furnishes our industry accomplices with the possibility to save a huge number of dollars across their activities in material expenses, capital speculations, and improved quality from existing hardware. From cleaner discharges to satisfying harder EPA guidelines to expanded immaculateness, stream rates, and transformation speeds, the presentation of FlexCat is a genuine natural, social, and administration (ESG) distinct advantage for the business."
FlexCat is additionally ready to affect the hydrogen economy. As the interest for hydrogen builds, FlexCat upholds the development of hydrogen creation through better selectivity and expanded yield utilizing essentially less impetus material. FlexCat innovation drives more noteworthy reception by using more modest and more proficient units that length from power modules to customer gadgets.
Fiber-based innovation that conveys
Utilizing the viable surface space of Unifrax's special stringy material, FlexCat offers upgraded yields by giving a more convoluted way to improved catalysis inside a reactor. FlexCat wipes out the requirement for any prewash or zeolite-covering measure before applying impetus metals.
Testing to date has appeared:
• Capacity to utilize something like 80% less metal, including platinum bunch metals (PGMs), while getting a similar change yield
• Outrageous sturdiness to almost 1,850°F (~1,000°C) with more reliable item immaculateness
• Improved change and selectivity of synergist responses, even in the wake of maturing, permitting modern plants better yield with existing gear
• Solid grip of PGMs and no deficiency of impetus, even after warm maturing
FlexCat's lightweight fiber tangle structure considers the more secure establishment and evacuation, and cutoff points unsafe waste, significant advantages for Unifrax's customer's labor force and the wellbeing of the climate.
FlexCat and Unifrax's profound innovation portfolio
FlexCat is Unifrax's initial step into mechanical catalysis, expanding on the organization's profound history of fiber-based innovation and assembling. Unifrax has a history of 75+ years creating and providing designed inorganic materials for an enormous scope to cutting-edge enterprises around the world, including electric vehicles, aviation, and compound preparing.
Adjustable for singular accomplices, cycles, and explicit responses, FlexCat can be made at scale today. Unifrax will be accessible at Hydrogen 2021 Digital Conference and Exhibition to examine besides with invested individuals.
