ICT-12-8: Copper-Chromium VOC Oxidation Catalyst
The ICT-12-8 has been used for oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide for over 20 years. Its unique properties are high activity, low price, and tolerance to low to moderate concentrations of sulfur compounds.

Benefits:
- Peace of mind from using an established, exhtensively studied product with over 20 years of commercial application.
- Excellent performance in VOC oxidation coming at unbeatable price.
- Resistance to poisoning by low to moderate concentration of sulfur compounds; ability to be regenerated in situ, without unloading or even opening the unit.
- Oxidation of nitrogen containing VOCs with very low secondary NOx generation.
- Availability of a variety of sizes and shapes, from 3-4 mm pellets to 25 mm (1 in.) rings, to fit the requirements of each particular application. The largest sizes, 15 mm and 25 mm rings, are particularly effective in converting regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) into catalytic units.
