Hydrogenation
Hydrogen solutions powered by technology, reliability, and safety
Our engineers have many years of experience in developing and running hydrogenation processes and can help you to optimize your system and improve productivity and achieve safer operations.
Hydrogenation reactions are sensitive to a variety of factors that can negatively impact batch time, catalyst life, production rate, and selectivity. In addition to being the world’s leading hydrogen supplier, Air Products can help optimize your hydrogenation reaction and reduce costs through selection of the best supply mode based on your volume, pressure, purity level, flow rate and operating pattern.
