Isomerization Catalysts and Adsorbents

If you’re looking for isomerization catalysts and adsorbents with a proven track record, look no farther than UOP.

UOP has been the market leader in the supply of isomerization catalysts to the refining industry since the startup of the first Penex unit in 1958. In the years that have followed, UOP’s isomerization catalysts have been loaded into more than 300 isomerization units worldwide.

UOP’s portfolio of isomerization catalysts covers a broad range of applications, including Penex, Butamer, TIP, Par-Isom, and zeolitic once-through units. Purchasing UOP isomerization catalyst assures total quality and absolute reliability.

New! UOP has developed a new series of light paraffin isomerization catalysts that offer additional flexibility for both Butamer and Penex applications. All are an extension of UOP’s proven highest activity I-82 catalyst, which has been in operation in over 50 process units and was commercialized in 2003. The new catalysts are I-84, I-122, and I-124.  Information about these new products can be found in the technical data sheets through the links on the right side of this page and in UOP’s Newsletter. To learn more about how these products could optimize the performance of your unit and maximize your asset utilization, please contact your local UOP sales representative.

For more than 50 years UOP has been the primary supplier of isomerization catalysts to the refining industry. Of course, when you work with UOP, you get more than a totally reliable catalyst, you also enjoy impeccable technical service as part of our total technology package.

UOP produces catalysts and adsorbents in production plants around the world. All of UOP’s manufacturing plants are ISO 9001:2000 certified and use the most advanced technology available to produce state-of-the-art high-performance products.
