Isfahan Refinery Buys Indigenized Catalysts

Isfahan Oil Refinery in central Isfahan Province has purchased high temperature shift (HTS) catalysts for its hydrogen production units from Khwarizmi Technology Development Company, a local knowledge-based firm, to support domestic manufacturing, head of the procurement office of the company said.
“HTS catalysts are used in hydrogen units of refining industries to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and increase hydrogen purity,” Masoud Motavali was quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry news agency Shana.
“Isfahan refinery, one of the modern refineries in Iran, signed a contract with Khwarizmi Technology Development Company two years ago based on which the knowledge-based firm was to deliver HTS catalysts to the refiner,” he added.
