FCC, crackers, and refinery processes present complex requirements: NOx reduction, CO and VOC oxidation, and thermal exhaust gas treatment must integrate efficiently. Ceram Austria develops high-performance ceramic components for this purpose, tailored to the process, temperature window, and operating conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Changing processes. Multiple pollutants. <\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Refinery and petrochemical processes are rarely constant and often require more than just denitrification. Nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and CO must be managed simultaneously across a wide, fluctuating operating window.<\/p>\n

In FCC units, ethylene crackers, and other refinery processes, temperature and pollutant profiles change according to the respective operating parameters. Unlike pure NOx sources, multiple pollutants often occur together here: nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO).<\/p>\n

This requires a catalyst that remains reliably high-performing across a wide temperature window. A high ammonia storage capacity ensures stable NOx conversion and good controllability, even when process conditions fluctuate.<\/p>\n
