CN-28YQ/CN-16YQ Primary Steam Reforming Catalyst

CN-₂8YQ and CN-₁6YQ are sintered-type primary steam reforming catalysts for gaseous hydrocarbon feedstocks. They use nickel as the active component, alumina as the carrier, and rare earth oxides and basic oxides as promoters.

The catalysts are designed for primary steam reforming applications in ammonia, methanol and H₂ production plants, providing high activity, good mechanical strength and reliable resistance to carbon formation.

Product Details

CN-28YQ and CN-16YQ are nickel-based sintered-type steam reforming catalysts for gaseous hydrocarbons.

The catalysts are formulated with nickel as the active component, alumina as the carrier, and rare earth oxides and basic oxides as promoters to improve catalytic performance and operational reliability.

To date, CN-28YQ and CN-16YQ have been used in more than 65 sets of ammonia and methanol plants, including large-scale units with production capacities of 2,300 tons per day and 5,400 tons MeOH per day.


Key Features

  • 1.Optimized appearance structure to improve the strength and outer surface area;
  • 2.Optimized microporous structure to improve effective utilization of internal surface area;
  • 3.Rare earth oxides and basic oxides added as promoters to improve low-temperature activity and resistance to carbon formation.

Application Scope

CN-28YQ and CN-16YQ are suitable for primary steam reforming processes in various chemical plants, including:

  • Fertilizer plant;
  • Methanol plant;
  • Hydrogen plant.

They are suitable for gaseous hydrocarbon feedstocks such as:

  • Natural gas;
  • Petroleum associated gas;
  • Refinery off gas;
  • Coke oven gas.

Operation Instruction

  • 1.CN-₂8YQ is usually loaded at the upper section of the primary reformer tube;
  • 2.CN-₁6YQ is loaded at the lower section of the tube.
