Extend Lifetime

Extend Lifetime with Advanced Adsorbent Solutions from Evonik

How long can your refinery run at peak performance before maintenance slows you down? 

In catalytic reforming, every interruption costs time, energy, and profitability. Evonik empowers refiners to push operational boundaries - extending cycle lengths, minimizing downtime, and protecting critical assets. With CHLOROCEL® 909, we don’t just improve performance - we help redefine how long your systems can operate at their best.

Why Choose Evonik to Extend Lifetime?

Evonik develops and sells cutting-edge catalyst and adsorbent technologies designed to maximize operational uptime and efficiency in demanding industrial environments.

Your benefits at a glance:

  • Extended service life: Up to double the lifetime compared to conventional alumina-based adsorbents

  • Longer operating cycles: Higher chloride loading capacity (+15%) enables extended run times between changeouts

  • Reduced downtime: Fewer shutdowns increase plant productivity and profitability

  • Lower maintenance costs: Less frequent replacement and reduced operational interruptions

  • Sustainability gains: Reduced waste generation and improved resource efficiency

Solutions by Application

Catalytic Reforming (Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals)

Challenge: Chloride contamination in reforming units leads to catalyst deactivation, corrosion, and frequent shutdowns.

Evonik Solution:

  • CHLOROCEL® 909 – A next-generation mixed metal oxide adsorbent engineered to remove inorganic chlorides efficiently in vapor and liquid phase applications. 

What it delivers:

  • Maximized cycle length: Faster adsorption and shorter mass transfer zone ensure optimal bed utilization

  • Higher reliability: Improved particle strength maintains performance under demanding conditions

  • Minimized side reactions: Reduces green oil formation and protects downstream processes

Result: Longer-lasting guard beds, fewer changeouts, and consistent refinery performance.

The Evonik Advantage: Turning Longevity into Value

At Evonik, extending lifetime is more than a performance metric - it’s a strategic advantage. By combining deep application expertise with advanced material science, we help you:

  • Increase asset uptime and operational resilience

  • Optimize total cost of ownership (TCO)

  • Improve process stability and output quality

  • Support circular economy goals through reduced waste and longer material use cycles

Make Every Cycle Count

Extending lifetime isn’t just about durability - it’s about unlocking the full potential of your operation. With CHLOROCEL® 909, Evonik delivers a powerful solution that transforms maintenance intervals into measurable business value.
