Solution Summary

  • Nippon Shokubai 's "heat-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst" can handle a wide range of treatment temperatures, from low to high, and is capable of high-temperature operation.

  • It can also withstand high temperature conditions where the catalytic combustion temperature reaches 700°C.

  • The catalyst dimensions are industry standard, making it easy to replace the current catalyst.

  • Long life means catalyst replacement is less frequent and it is easy to maintain.

It is possible to treat exhaust gas containing VOCs under optimal conditions.

Unable to give up, Mr. M began gathering information on exhaust gas treatment catalysts in an attempt to find a solution. One day, he heard from a business partner about a "heat-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst" offered by Nippon Shokubai. The catalyst was a highly heat-resistant type that could handle a wide range of treatment temperatures, from low to high, and was apparently capable of operating at high temperatures.

Mr. M immediately contacted Nippon Shokubai to get more information from a representative. He learned that Nippon Shokubai 's "heat-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst" has a proven track record of long-term use at temperatures up to 700°C.

"We found that this was a highly heat-resistant catalyst that could withstand high-temperature conditions, such as catalytic combustion temperatures reaching 700°C, which was a problem for our company. This means that we can expect a long life, which will reduce the frequency of catalyst replacement and the on-site management burden. Another major advantage is that the catalyst dimensions are industry standard, making it easy to replace our current catalyst." (Mr. M)

Mr. M received approval from his superior, disclosed the specifications of the exhaust gas components in question to Nippon Shokubai, and consulted with them to see if they could handle the issue. A few days later, they received a response from Company Q stating that Nippon Shokubai 's heat-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst could handle the issue.
They then proposed a specific estimate and delivery date, and we were able to gain internal approval to adopt Nippon Shokubai 's "heat-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst."

Q Company's other factories were also experiencing problems with exhaust gas treatment. The sulfur components in the exhaust gas were shortening the catalyst's lifespan. When they consulted with a representative from Nippon Shokubai about this issue, they were told that the problem could be solved with a "S (sulfur)-resistant exhaust gas treatment catalyst."
Company Q plans to continue consulting with Nippon Shokubai on this matter.
