Fat hardening catalyst – KUT
Application
The KUT catalyst is used in the hydrogenation of vegetable and animal fats by hydrogenation over a wide range of temperature and pressure.
Characteristics
The KUT catalyst is a nickel catalyst. The catalytic material is a reduced nickel-aluminium mass containing nickel in a highly dispersed state. The catalyst is offered in the form of irregular pellets.
Operating parameters
- Temperature [°C]: 160 ÷ 240
- Pressure [bar]: up to 5
Operational advantages
- High linoleic activity and selectivity,
- good filtration properties,
- durability, the catalyst properly stored in warehouse conditions retains its properties for one year.
