Johnson Matthey Catalysts

Profile: Johnson Matthey Catalysts is a catalyst company with strengths in process and emission control technologies, chemical catalysts & fuel cells. We provide precious metal based salts and solutions for a wide range of industrial applications including the aerospace, autocatalyst, chlor alkali, petrochemical, plating and electro-chemical industries. Most compounds are available in bulk quantities to customized specifications. Our products include precious metal chlorides, nitrates, oxides, acetates and complex inorganic salts. The Hydecat process is a catalytic method of removing hypochlorite from chlorinated effluent streams, using a heterogeneous supported nickel catalyst and a modular fixed bed reactor. It can also be used to improve the operability, performance and safety of an existing chemical reduction system, whilst significantly reducing the running costs. The Hydecat process is a modular, fixed-bed technology which can quickly and easily be retrofitted or integrated into the operator's existing plant. It is designed to provide maximum efficiency with minimum maintenance. The Puravoc™ range offers a PGM on alumina based fixed bed catalytic technology to remove a broad variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial processes. Puravoc catalysts are stable in air at ambient temperature and they can be loaded directly into the reactor. They are supplied pre-activated so no in situ activation is required. We also supply fuel cell components for hydrogen and methanol fueled systems.
