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
Longer service intervals, less spent adsorbent: extending the run length of a guard bed reduces the number of changeouts over a given operating period compared with the shorter-cycle adsorbent it replaces. Fewer changeouts mean less spent adsorbent to handle, transport and dispose of. Results vary by unit and application.
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
Regenerable adsorbent grades: selected Evonik adsorbents can be regenerated and returned to service for further cycles instead of being replaced after a single use. Compared with a single-use adsorbent in the same duty, a regenerable grade reduces the quantity of fresh adsorbent purchased and the quantity of spent material sent for disposal over the life of the unit.
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.
