the Merox unit solvent catalyst is one of the specialized and strategic products of Caspian Chemical Company, designed and manufactured to improve the sweetening process of petroleum fractions and to remove sulfur compounds, particularly mercaptans. The Merox unit is recognized as one of the most common and cost-effective treating processes in refineries and petrochemical plants, and its proper performance is directly dependent on the quality of the catalyst used. Leveraging indigenous technical expertise, precise formulation, and continuous quality control, Caspian Chemical’s solvent catalyst effectively meets the operational requirements of Merox units under various process conditions.
In the Merox process, the primary objective is the oxidation of mercaptans into disulfides in an alkaline medium in the presence of air or oxygen. The Merox solvent catalyst plays a central role in the process by accelerating the oxidation reaction, increasing the conversion rate of mercaptans, reducing sulfur content in the final product, and enabling compliance with required quality standards. The use of an appropriate catalyst allows the process to operate at milder temperatures and pressures while also reducing the consumption of auxiliary chemicals.
The application of the Merox solvent catalyst is extensive and includes the sweetening of LPG, gasoline, naphtha, gas condensates, and other light petroleum fractions. The presence of mercaptans in these streams not only causes unpleasant odors but also leads to equipment corrosion, reduced product quality, and non-compliance with environmental standards. By enhancing reaction efficiency, the Merox solvent catalyst helps produce outlet streams with lower sulfur content, higher chemical stability, and suitability for both domestic and export markets.
One of the key advantages of Caspian Chemical’s Merox unit solvent catalyst is its high operational stability and suitable service life. The catalyst is designed to perform reliably in the presence of feed contaminants, operational fluctuations, and variations in flow rate and feed composition. This results in reduced catalyst replacement frequency, minimized unit downtime, and ultimately lower operating costs. In addition, under specific conditions, regeneration and reuse of the catalyst are possible, providing a significant economic advantage for industrial consumers.
With a thorough understanding of the needs of refineries and gas processing units, Caspian Chemical has developed this product to suit various operating conditions and offers customized specifications based on feedstock type and Merox unit capacity. This is particularly important for units handling variable feeds or high mercaptan concentrations. Alongside product supply, the company’s technical team provides consulting services for startup, optimization, and troubleshooting of Merox units.
From a supply and commercial perspective, Caspian Chemical is fully prepared to supply the Merox unit solvent catalyst to refineries, petrochemical complexes, and companies active in hydrocarbon processing. Favorable conditions are also available for purchasing the Merox solvent catalyst with guaranteed quality, technical analysis, and after-sales support. For large projects and high-volume consumers, bulk supply of the Merox unit solvent catalyst under long-term contracts is available, offering significant economic and logistical advantages.
Accordingly, Caspian Chemical provides flexible options for bulk purchasing of the Merox unit solvent catalyst, enabling industrial units to better manage procurement costs through precise planning and to ensure stable Merox unit performance. Domestic production of this catalyst not only reduces dependence on foreign suppliers but also ensures faster availability, lower foreign exchange costs, and continuous local technical support.
Overall, the Merox unit solvent catalyst produced by Caspian Chemical represents a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for improving the quality of oil and gas products, enhancing sweetening process efficiency, and reducing operating costs. The combination of technical expertise, industrial experience, and specialized support makes this product a suitable choice for Merox units of various capacities.
The Merox unit solvent catalyst belongs to the category of liquid catalysts and is used in the petrochemical industry.
