Sasol Performance Chemicals Expands Catalyst Carrier Production Capacity
Sasol announced that it has expanded the production capacity of its alumina spheres plant in Brunsbüttel to 4,000 tonnes per annum. Through the company's Performance Chemicals Inorganics & Catalyst division it produces high purity and ultra-high purity alumina that is used in a range of catalytic and non-catalytic applications.
The expansion marks another step in the company strengthening its position in the alumina market to meet growing market demand for alumina-based shaped carrier materials for industrial catalytic and non-catalytic applications. Due to physical and chemical properties, the shaped carriers produced by Sasol's Performance Chemicals Inorganics & Catalyst division are sought-after in fast-growing markets, such as the refinery catalyst market.
"Demand for our shaped carrier materials has been growing significantly thanks to Sasol Performance Chemicals' ability to deliver innovative and tailored solutions in close collaboration with its customers," said Dr. Klaus Diblitz, Vice President Inorganics & Catalyst at Sasol Performance Chemicals. "This move to debottleneck capacity shows we are determined to keep pace with this growing demand worldwide and with our customers' specific product requirements."
