From Catalyst Activation To Product Recovery — Thermal Precision At Every Step

In industrial hydrogenation, thermal control governs everything — from catalyst activation and feed pre‑heating to precise management of exothermic reactions that, left unchecked, risk selectivity loss, catalyst deactivation, and product degradation. At Chemie, our six‑fluid portfolio — Eurotherm 320, Eurotherm 330, Eurotherm 350, Eurotherm THT, Eurotherm R‑1000, and Ruetasolv B‑PD — covers the full spectrum of hydrogenation operations, from food‑grade edible oil processing to high‑pressure petrochemical hydrorefining.

Eurotherm 330 (‑49 ~ 315 °C) delivers low‑viscosity, reliable heat for feed oil pre‑heating and Ni‑catalyst activation at 100–200 °C in edible oil and fatty acid hydrogenation units. Eurotherm 320 (‑30 ~ 320 °C) provides stable, uniform heat transfer for mid‑temperature reactions (150–300 °C) in fine chemical and pharmaceutical hydrogenation. Eurotherm 350 (‑30 ~ 350 °C) and Eurotherm THT (‑10 ~ 350 °C) handle demanding petrochemical hydrorefining and coal tar hydrogenation pre‑heaters at 250–350 °C — THT's hydrogenated terphenyl chemistry ensuring long‑service oxidation resistance under continuous cycling. Eurotherm R‑1000 delivers high heat‑capacity thermal response for rapidly stabilizing exothermic catalytic beds, minimizing hot‑spot formation and runaway risk. Ruetasolv B‑PD (‑55 ~ 350 °C), Germany‑sourced diisopropyl biphenyl, combines exceptional chemical purity and full recyclability — essential for pharmaceutical and specialty chemical hydrogenation where fluid contamination cannot be tolerated.
