KATALCOJM a commitment to excellence
For many years, methanol has been used primarily as a
chemical intermediate in manufacturing plastics and resins,
then more recently in the manufacture of methyl tertiary
butyl ether (MTBE). However, now methanol is being seen as
a product that can be introduced directly into the gasoline
pool by blending. This allows indigenous resources to be used
and provides a diversity of supply that can help to reduce
dependence on crude oil.
The methanol industry as we know it today is based almost
entirely around the technology and catalysts developed and
commercialized by ICI in the late 1960s. Since that time,
Johnson Matthey (having acquired the ICI catalyst business and
then Davy Process Technology now known as Johnson Matthey
Davy Technologies (JM Davy)) has invested enormous resources
in R&D to ensure that the technology has adapted to meet our
customers’ needs. KATALCOJMTM methanol catalysts are more
active, more selective and more robust, to give you the highest
plant rates, longest run time and the best value for money.
The selection of catalyst and technology is just the start of the
process. We seek to develop close working relationships with
all users of our catalysts to gain a good understanding of your
operations. This allows our engineers to provide the best advice
on the operation of the catalysts within the methanol process.
Within the methanol industry, Johnson Matthey is seen as the
world leader with the greatest depth and breadth of knowledge.
This position has been developed through a combination of its
own technology and catalyst development efforts alongside the
experience gained from the large number of plants that use
them. It has been further underpinned by operating experience
in the methanol plants formerly operated by ICI, which ensures
that Johnson Matthey understands your needs as a plant
operator better than any other catalyst or technology provider.
Our focus is on delivering the best plant performance in
the world. We have on-going development programmes
producing new and better catalysts and improving the process
technology for the methanol industry. Our applications
know-how and services enable the best performance to be
achieved from these products. The overall impact of Johnson
Matthey’s new catalysts and technology can be to improve
methanol plant costs by millions of dollars every year.

optimized systems for meeting individual plant
requirements. In addition through our range of
PURASPEC JMTM catalysts and absorbents we can provide
mercury removal down to ppb levels, low temperature
H2S removal absorbents and ultrapurification down to
ppb levels of sulphur to protect even the most sensitive
of downstream catalysts, including pre-reforming and
methanol synthesis catalysts.

methanol synthesis.
KATALCOJM 33-1 is the latest addition to our purification
range. It is a 3-in-1 total sulphur removal product, which
combines the functionality of organic sulphur conversion,
high capacity sulphur removal, and low level sulphur
polishing (ultrapurification) in a single product. The
versatility of KATALCOJM 33-1 allows it to be deployed in
methanol plants in numerous ways, as a single product or
in conjunction with conventional purification products.
By using KATALCOJM 33-1, the total
catalyst volume can be reduced while still
achieving the required life. Further savings
are also realized from much easier loading
and discharge, and no requirement for
pre‑sulphiding of the HDS catalyst or
reduction of the ultrapurification catalyst.

 Pre-reforming
catalysts

CRG LHR

CRG LHCR

Johnson Matthey has been associated with
pre-reforming catalysts since the 1960s and together
with JM Davy offers the CRG series of catalysts which
have been demonstrated to be the most active and
robust commercially available products. In methanol
plants, operating on natural gas feeds, the use of high
pre-reformer inlet temperatures allows the maximum
amount of heat recovery from the steam reformer flue
duct giving an economic benefit through improved
thermal efficiency of the process. In addition, by
transferring the maximum amount of reforming duty
into the pre-reformer, the size of the primary reformer
is reduced which results in a lower capital cost.
CRG LHR is available in two distinctive shapes.
The exceptionally high geometric surface area that
is produced by the small standard cylindrical pellet
delivers outstanding catalytic activity and allows
the construction of relatively small pre-reforming
reactors. However, where pressure drop must be
minimized, the unique microcloverleaf shape, CRG
LHCR provides low pressure drop characteristics
in combination with high pre-reforming activity.

CRG LHR is a precipitated catalyst with nickel as

the active component. The catalyst is supplied in
the pre-reduced and stabilized form. The oxidized
form, CRG LH, is available as a special order.

CRG LHR pre-reforming catalyst is specially formulated

to deliver good performance at high pre-reformer inlet
temperatures (>500°C), which cannot be attained
with many other catalysts. This allows the maximum
amount of heat recovery from the steam reformer
flue duct and hence increases the economic benefits
that can be obtained from the pre-reformer.

KATALCOJM 57-4 series
KATALCOJM 25-4 series
In this critical operating unit in the methanol production
train, the KATALCOJM combination of catalysts and
services ensures optimal operation at all times.
KATALCOJM catalysts are unique with the ability to
reform efficiently the full range of feedstocks from
light natural gases and refinery off-gases right up
to naphthas. Our QUADRALOBE TM catalyst range
employs a carefully designed shaped support offering
high surface area and high voidage with excellent
heat transfer performance. The resulting high
activity, heat transfer and low pressure drop gives a
combination of lower methane slip, high throughput
and longer tube lives for methanol plant reformers.
Johnson Matthey manufactures three main catalysts for
use in steam reformers using a natural gas feedstock:
KATALCOJM 25-series, 23-series and 57-series
catalysts. Johnson Matthey reforming catalysts
are made in a range of sizes, allowing optimum
reformer loading for each individual plant.

Matthey combines sophisticated Computational Fluid Ruby formation
Dynamic techniques and process modelling, calibrated
against data generated from its Syngas Generation (SGG)
pilot plant, to ensure the best performance from its state
of the art range of catalysts. Johnson Matthey offers
reactor technology including a proven burner design.

KATALCOJM 23-series and 28-series are nickel

on alumina catalysts which gives you high stability

KATALCOJM 54-8 series is nickel on calcium aluminate.

These catalysts give you high stability and high activity

allowing Johnson Matthey to offer the best mix of
activity, pressure drop and high temperature stability
for your application.

KATALCOJM 89-6 is a catalyst designed for use in the top

of autothermal reformers where the temperature and steam
partial pressure is high, a combination that can lead to
unacceptably fast volitilization of alumina and the problems
associated with this and its subsequent condensation. This
catalyst utilizes a refractory metal as the active component
on a stabilized high temperature ceramic support.

 Sour shift

KATALCOJM K8-11

KATALCOJM K8-11 HA

The production of syngas using gasification or partial
oxidation differs considerably from that using catalytic
steam reforming. Depending on the feed and process
configuration, the raw syngas will have a high CO
content and, it is likely that it will also have high sulphur
content. This gas needs to be shifted and the excess
CO2 removed to achieve the desired hydrogen to
carbon oxides ratio, and this requires the use of a
sulphur tolerant shift catalyst. Johnson Matthey is the
world’s leading supplier of sour shift catalysts with the
KATALCOJM K8-11 series of products. These catalysts are
particularly robust and can withstand sharp temperature
changes, high steam partial pressures and the effect
of contamination from impurities in the raw gas.
Johnson Matthey’s experience in the application of
sour shift catalyst downstream of gasifiers puts us in an
ideal position to provide advice on the optimum system
configuration, including the appropriate number of
reaction stages, the use of bypasses, steam requirements
and heat recovery options. For instance, at large plant
capacities, the use of radial flow reactors may allow
the use of a single reactor instead of multiple parallel
axial reactors, so reducing installed plant cost. Johnson
Matthey is able to provide a sour shift catalyst customized
for radial flow applications (KATALCOJM K8-11R) along
with proven designs of internals for radial flow reactors.

The standard catalyst for sour shift is KATALCOJM K8‑11,

which has been well proven in ammonia applications
downstream of several different types of gasifier. Other
variants of this standard catalyst are available to meet
specific client requirements which may place greater
emphasis on pressure drop or low-temperature activity.
An example of this is KATALCOJM K8-11HA which uses
a geometric shape with higher external surface and a
higher packed voidage and thus a lower pressure drop.

catalysts

KATALCOJM 51-8

KATALCOJM 51-8PPT

KATALCOJM 51-9

KATALCOJM 51-9S

The KATALCOJM 51-series of catalysts is key to the
methanol technologies offered by Johnson Matthey
and JM Davy. KATALCOJM 51-1 and the LPM
process revolutionized synthetic methanol production
in the 1960s and have provided the majority of
the world’s production ever since that time. These
technologies currently account for an annual production
capacity of over 30 million tonnes of methanol.
KATALCOJM 51-1 was the first three-component
methanol synthesis catalyst comprising zinc oxide and
alumina as the support with copper as the active catalytic
component. Successive generations of KATALCOJM
51-series catalysts have been developed to give increasing
activity, selectivity and stability, so ensuring ever more
efficient operation whatever the source of syngas.
The latest in this series, KATALCOJM 51-9S, is particularly
suited to highly stressed duties with its activity, strength
and selectivity.
The high activity and stability of KATALCOJM 51-series
catalysts means that typically a charge lasts between
four and six years, but some charges have been in
operation for more than 8 years. Their strength enables
them to withstand the rigours of this extended operation
and as a result they show little change in pressure
drop and are easily discharged at the end of life.

 Leading edge syngas
technologies
Since the acquisition of JM Davy by Johnson Matthey in 2006,
we now have the most extensive portfolio of catalysts and
technologies for syngas preparation and methanol production.
Our complementary skills and capabilities allow us to provide:
∆ world-class technology
∆ high performance catalysts
∆ conceptual design and licensing
∆ basic and detailed engineering
∆ commissioning and start-up
∆ on-going operational support.
Johnson Matthey offers the technology most suited to
customer requirements. Whether a client wants large or small
capacity in high or low cost gas areas, to build on a ship that
will access gas from remote fields, or to use syngas generated
from coal as a feedstock, the technology exists within Johnson
Matthey and JM Davy to meet these requirements.
Use of the Johnson Matthey LPM technology has increased
steadily over the years and it is the preferred methanol production
technology, with its unrivalled reliability and on-stream factor.

Syngas generation technologies
With the wide range of expertise available
within Johnson Matthey, our portfolio of syngas
generation technologies is extensive.
∆ Steam methane reformers (SMRs)
While this technology has been around for a long time,
conventional SMRs have been undergoing a continual
process of improvement. The largest methanol plant
in the world based on natural gas is the Methanol
Holdings (Trinidad) Limited M5000 plant. Based on LPM
technology, this plant started up in 2005, produces 5,000
tpd of methanol from a single SMR, and represents the
benchmark for future technology development in this field.
∆ Autothermal reformers (ATR)
Johnson Matthey’s 30+ years of experience was gained
on air and oxygen blown autothermal refomers (ATRs)
including the Coogee LCM plant in Australia. Our unique
design of ATR has proven its reliability and durability
over many years in both oxygen and air fired service.
All elements from the burner and distribution system,
through to the refractory lining, catalyst and refractory
support arch, deliver long term trouble-free performance.
∆ Combined reforming
Combined reforming incorporates the steam
methane reforming process and the ATR. The
technology is particularly applicable for use on large
capacity plants using light natural gas. Two versions
of this concept have quite different features.

Coal gasification
The GHR is a heat exchanger with catalyst inside the

forced to flow counter‑currently to the feed natural
gas and steam flowing inside the tubes. It is the
most energy efficient process available with the
lowest CO2 emissions and water make-up rate.

Like the compact reformer, the GHR generates little

steam and decouples the power system from the process,
so plant designers can choose something other than
steam turbines to drive rotating equipment. The use of
gas turbines, for example, can give further efficiency
benefits, reducing gas consumption and CO2 emissions.

The heat of reaction is removed by counter-current exchange

with feed gas which results in a temperature profile that
approximates to the maximum rate curve. Operated in this
manner the reactor achieves good catalyst utilization.

18
∆ Axial flow steam raising converter
The axial flow steam raising converter is a different
design in which the catalyst is contained within the
tubes with boiling water on the outside. As for the
radial reactor, the reaction temperature is controlled
by varying the steam pressure. This arrangement
gives excellent cooling of the catalyst bed and allows
steam to be generated at the maximum possible
pressure without overheating the catalyst.
The reactor does however require thick tube sheets
that limits the maximum capacity of the reactor to
around 1,500 tpd and requires a large number of
tubes to accommodate the catalyst. This tends to limit
the use of this type of reactor to those applications
where its high heat transfer performance is required,
e.g., in certain coal gasification based flowsheets.

synthesis
Distillation technologies
Dependent on the grade of methanol required, there
are different options for methanol distillation. To produce
DME or MTO-grade methanol, only a single column
is required to remove the dissolved gases and some
of the light by-products. To produce refined methanol
for chemical or fuel usage, for example Federal AA
and IMPCA grade methanol, a two or three column
refining system is used. The three-column system uses
the least heat so is preferred where energy costs are
high or the heat for distillation is not readily available.
19
 Further development
We continue to drive the improvement of our processes and
to develop new ones that will continue to lower the installed
cost, improve efficiency to make better use of the natural
resources and minimize the impact on the environment.
It is also important that catalyst and new technology
developments keep pace with one another to ensure that
the process can operate at its optimum efficiency and
maintain or increase the time between plant turnarounds.
