Dehydrogenation
Unlock high-value olefins with precision-engineered catalytic dehydrogenation solutions.
We specialize in providing advanced catalytic dehydrogenation services tailored for the efficient conversion of key hydrocarbons such as Ethylbenzene, Propane, and n-Butane. Through precisely engineered process conditions and optimized reactor-catalyst systems, Ethylbenzene is converted into high-purity styrene, while Propane and n-Butane are transformed into valuable olefins such as propylene and butylenes. These olefins serve as essential intermediates in the production of a wide range of downstream products including polymers (e.g., polystyrene, polypropylene), high-octane fuels, synthetic rubbers, and specialty fine chemicals. Our dehydrogenation solutions are designed for high selectivity, energy efficiency, and process stability, ensuring maximum yield with minimal by-products and operational downtime.
