Technical Positioning

Sinotech's hydrogenation platform covers organic-sulfur conversion ahead of zinc-oxide desulfurization, plus catalytic hydrogen generation from methanol. Co-Mo, Ni-Mo and Fe-Mo active systems are matched to feed type — natural gas, oilfield gas, coke oven gas, light oil or methanol — and reviewed alongside downstream guard-bed configuration.

Product Architecture

SHY-410 / SHY-410A

Co-Mo / Co-Ni-Mo Hydrodesulfurization

Process Duty / Loading

Model Details

Each model in the family, set out by process duty, application and role. Full technical datasheets are available on request.

SHY-410 / SHY-410A

Co-Mo / Co-Ni-Mo Hydrodesulfurization

Process Duty
Hydrogenation desulfurization (organic sulfur conversion)
Application
Natural gas, oilfield gas, coke oven gas and light-oil feedstocks for ammonia, methanol, carbon-chemical and refinery units

SHY-410 (Co-Mo) and SHY-410A (Co-Ni-Mo) convert organic sulfur in natural gas, oilfield gas, coke oven gas and light-oil feedstocks ahead of zinc-oxide polishing. Uniform active-component distribution gives high activity, good low-temperature performance and long service life, taking treated organic sulfur down to below 0.1 ppm when run in series with a zinc oxide desulfurizer.

SHY-420

Ni-Mo Hydroconversion

Process Duty
Ni-Mo hydrogenation conversion
Application
Natural gas, refinery gas, water gas and light-oil feedstocks

SHY-420 is a Ni-Mo hydrogenation catalyst with special promoters on an alumina support, offering strong organic-sulfur conversion across natural gas, refinery gas, water gas and light-oil duty, with good low-temperature activity and mechanical strength.

SHY-440 / SHY-440Y

Fe-Mo Hydrodesulfurization

Process Duty
Fe-Mo hydrogenation desulfurization
Application
Coke oven gas, refinery gas, water gas and light oil

SHY-440 and SHY-440Y are Fe-Mo hydrodesulfurization catalysts made by co-impregnation, offered in a grade requiring in-plant sulfiding (SHY-440) and a sulfur-free, non-sulfiding grade (SHY-440Y). Both deliver high activity and good low-temperature performance for organic-sulfur conversion across coke oven gas, refinery gas, water gas and light-oil streams.

SHY-485

Methanol Steam Reforming to Hydrogen

Process Duty
Methanol steam reforming to hydrogen
Application
On-site hydrogen production from methanol

SHY-485 is a Cu-Zn-Al catalyst — CuO as the main active component with ZnO/Al2O3 as spacer components — made by a co-precipitation process with proprietary promoters. A large effective copper surface area and well-suited pore structure deliver high activity and stability for hydrogen production via methanol steam reforming.

How Selection Works
