Maleic Anhydride Catalysts - Introduction

At the heart of INEOS’ MAN process technology is the fluid-bed catalyst utilized within the reactor. INEOS produces MAN catalyst in its wholly-owned and operated manufacturing facility, and markets the catalyst to producers worldwide.  In addition to its fluid-bed catalyst, INEOS is also able to offer fixed-bed MAN catalyst to the world’s existing fixed-bed MAN producers.  

INEOS Technologies offers catalyst for both the fixed-bed and fluid-bed maleic anhydride process:

Fixed-Bed Catalysts

• MANCAT^TM-V
• MANCAT^TM-VI

Fluid-Bed Catalysts

• FV-100
• FV-200

INEOS' catalyst offering includes the following attributes:

• In the case of fluid-bed catalyst, and with the proper addition of make-up catalyst, no need for periodic plant shutdowns associated with catalyst change-outs and lengthy reactor loading/unloading activities.
• High, stable butane-to-MAN yields
• Over 30 years of demonstrated R&D and commercial success in the industry, including ongoing R&D activities to identify improved catalysts that will offer customers enhanced product yields.
• Ongoing technical support to customers worldwide.
