Clariant has introduced CATOFIN 1000, a next‑generation propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalyst that builds on the CATOFIN 310 series. It delivers higher selectivity and productivity, a longer operating life, and up to 20% lower tar-precursor formation, resulting in significantly reduced fouling.

How would improved selectivity and a 20% cut in tar precursors most impact your PDH operation—propylene yield, run length, or maintenance strategy?

Lower tar precursors sound promising, but what does that mean operationally: any data on pressure-drop growth and cold-side exchanger/compressor cleaning intervals vs the 310 series at comparable conversion? Also, is CATOFIN 1000 more or less tolerant to trace sulfur/arsine, or do feed pretreatment specs stay the same?
