Shutai’s SCST-221 and SCST-231 CO shift catalyst deliver strong performance for the Xinjiang Shuguang BDO + PBAT project

    Recently, Shutai, an excellence-focused specialty catalyst supplier in China, won the bid for the annual production of 100,000 tons of BDO and 120,000 tons of the PBAT project of Xinjiang Shuguang Co., Ltd project. Among four domestic and foreign bidders, Shutai stood out and successfully won the bid for the 1# shift furnace CO medium-temperature shift catalyst and the 2# shift furnace CO low-temperature shift catalyst.

    In the face of various operational challenges, SCST-221 handles them with a superior attitude. It can adapt well to the low water-gas ratio conditions, and achieve the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction. Additionally, it can resist water vapor condensation, even if the liquid is directly carried in a short time during the process, which has no effect on the catalyst. SCST-221 has strong water resistance, and the strength after reduction is higher than before reduction. Furthermore, the low sulfur content of the catalyst body (less than 250 ppm) saves sulfur release time, allowing it to start-up when the gas is directly conducted.

    In Shutai, the production processes are all controlled by DCS automation, which solves the influence of human factors on the quality stability of the catalyst from the root. Shutai’s SCST-231-53 low-temperature CO shift catalyst adopts the novel co-precipitation process. The catalyst is not only suitable for axial shift furnaces, but also for axial radial shift furnaces. It has been successfully applied in 100 sets of devices at home and abroad. In the domestic market, it holds the market share of over 50 %. Additionally, It has been exported to more than 10 countries for a long time.

    With over 60 years of technical accumulation in the field of CO shift catalysts, Shutai continues to bring significant economic and social benefits to domestic and foreign customers. Winning the bid further consolidates Shutai’s leading position in the shift catalyst market.
