OparisNext ethylbenzene reforming (EBR) catalysts

OparisNext is a robust catalyst system offering standout ethylbenzene (EB) conversion rates. The use of high selectivity in this catalysts system ensures fewer side reactions that lead to ring loss and gas make.

Discover how OparisNext offers:

• accelerated rate of EB conversion;
• excellent PX approach to equilibrium (PX-ATE);
• low C8 aromatic ring loss;
• long cycle life; and
• low gas make at high space velocity.

The Oparis series of catalysts have been loaded in 26 units and never had a failure on start-up or in operation.

OparisNext offers standout performance in terms of EB conversion rate and selectivity.

Results include: 

• lower operating temperatures (saving energy);
• high feed efficiency;
• reduced CO₂ emissions;
• higher PX production yields;
• lower gas make; and
• longer cycles.
