Hydrodesulfurization of Natural and Refinery Gases
Catalysts of GPS and NIAP-01 series are used for hydrogenation of sulfur compounds found in natural gas and refinery gases used for ammonia, methanol and hydrogen production. The catalysts are highly efficient, successfully deal with drastic changes in sulfur content.
GPS-1F and GPS-3Sh are Al-Ni-Mo catalysts characterized by high hydrodesulfurization and hydrogenation activity and recommended for use at higher content of nitrogen containing organic compounds, olefins and carbon oxides in the feedstock. GPS-2F and GPS-4Sh are Al-Co-Mo catalysts that provide for even higher than GPS types hydrodesulfurization activity. All GPS catalysts possess excellent mechanical strength and catalytic, achieved at low content of active components due to optimal, "egg-shell" type distribution of active components in the pellet.

Methanation
Nickel catalysts contain between 30 and 40% of nickel, as NiO, exhibit high activity and reliable operation due to high content of very finely distributed nickel per unit volume. The catalysts withstand short-term overheating up to 550oC (NIAP-07-02 - up to 650oC) without activity loss, and ensure stable pressure drop throughout the entire lifetime. Ruthenium catalyst RKM-3 is used for purification from CO / CO2 at low temperatures, 150 o at the outlet
