- Operation of the innovative SYNSPIRE G1-110 catalyst technology has materialized significant OPEX benefits
- The novel catalyst enables Nan Ya's site to reduce CO2 emissions by 38,000 metric tons per year
In early 2024, Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya). installed BASF's SYNSPIRE G1-110 catalyst at its 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Mailiao site. With the installation, Nan Ya Plastics has been able to reduce the annual steam consumption of the site by approximately 40,000 metric tons and has avoided 38,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
The 2-EH site is part of Nan Ya's global network of facilities dedicated to producing high-performance 2-EH from n-butyraldehyde via condensation, hydrogenation, distillation and refinement. 2-EH is an important raw material for numerous downstream products.
BASF's SYNSPIRE catalyst G1-110 is a cutting-edge solution designed to reform methane and CO2 under significantly dryer conditions than state-of-the-art steam methane reforming processes. The catalyst is engineered to maintain peak performance over prolonged operating cycles, owing to its outstanding resistance to carbon-induced deactivation. This allows customers to lower steam consumption while realizing high CO2 uptake and conversion rates. This innovative approach is supporting the sustainable transformation of the chemical industry.
The efficient operations at the 2-EH site demonstrates Nan Ya commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, utilizing sustainable feedstocks and achieving environmental benefits as a leading chemical manufacturer. The effective performance of SYNSPIRE G1-110 catalysts, combined with BASF's technical expertise, catalytic innovation and collaborative spirit supports customers in achieving their goals.
