Acrylonitrile Catalysts

INEOS Technologies manufactures and markets catalysts used in the production of acrylonitrile, and in support of INEOS' licensed SOHIO acrylonitrile process.

Since the introduction of the revolutionary fluid-bed catalyst system for the manufacture of acrylonitrile in 1960, SOHIO and its successors have developed and commercialized numerous improved catalyst formulations. These catalyst improvements have improved yields and efficiencies versus each prior generation and continually lower the cost to manufacture acrylonitrile. 

INEOS Technologies continues this long and successful history of catalyst research and development. In fact, many of INEOS’ licensees have been able to achieve increased plant capacity through a simple catalyst change-out, without the need for reactor or other hardware modifications.

Primary attributes of INEOS Technologies’ Acrylonitrile Catalyst technology include:

• High AN yields

• High co-product HCN yield

• High propylene conversion

• Over 50 years of demonstrated R&D success

• New catalyst developments compatible with existing SOHIO-design AN plants

• Stable performance and operational flexibility

• Industry leading technical support
