MECS introduces a new line of sulfuric acid catalysts – GEAR™
MECS introduces a new line
GEAR™ will offer improved performance to the sulfuric acid industry. These catalysts combine lower pressure drop with higher activity to deliver increased energy savings and lower plant SO2 emissions.
GEAR™ Up with MECS New Catalyst Products
The new catalysts – designated as GR-330 and GR-310 – include an optimized shape and enhanced formula providing for interchangeable use in all passes of the converter. GR-330 is produced in a 13 mm diameter size while GR-310 is 11 mm in diameter.
GEAR™ Up for Reduced Pressure Drop and Prolonged Production Campaigns
The GEAR™ catalyst geometry improves catalyst spacing in the converter enabling reductions in pressure drop of up to 30% for GR-330 and 15% for GR-310 relative to traditional XLP shape catalysts. Utilizing GEAR™ catalysts throughout the acid plant converter will reduce energy consumption and prolong production campaigns.
GEAR™ Up for Activity Enhancement
The combination of an optimized shape and advanced formulation provides activity enhancement, yielding improved conversion performance at equivalent XLP catalyst loadings. Utilizing GEAR™ catalysts throughout the acid plant converter will increase acid production rates and lower SO2 emissions.
LP-310 for Low Velocity Converters
Additionally, the enhanced GEAR™ formulation has been adapted to the traditional LP-110 offering to create a new LP-310 catalyst product with the same ring size and shape characteristics as LP-110. The LP-310 catalyst can be used to reduce SO2 emissions or increase acid production in lower gas velocity converters, ensuring adequate gas distribution and maximum conversion performance.

DuPont Completes Acquisition of MECS
MECS became a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont
DuPont has completed its purchase of MECS from American Securities. MECS became a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont and part of the company’s Sustainable Solutions business effective Dec. 31, 2010.
MECS is a leading global provider of process technology, proprietary specialty equipment and technical services for sulfuric acid producers. Its offerings help reduce air emissions, improve operational efficiencies, and lower energy use. In addition to its widely recognized sulfuric acid offerings, MECS produces air pollution control scrubbing systems and mist eliminators for reducing particulate emissions in a variety of industries. It also is an industry leader in proprietary heat recovery systems that generate carbon-neutral energy from sulfuric acid plants.
DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 90 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.
DSD Chemtech will continue to take care of the MECS customers as the sales agency for Central Europe and technical service center.
April 2010 – Sulphuric Acid Symposium
Sulphuric Acid Symposium 2010
DSD Chemtech organizes together with MECS an international Sulphuric Acid Symposium. The meeting takes place on April 28th+29th in Berlin.
Further information you will find under NEWS. This time the topics are revamps and equipment replacement in sulphuric acid plants, who to increase conversion and emmission reduction and SULFOX – the new sulphuric acid process by MECS. The lectures will be given in English language.
The participation is free of charge. For more informartion please contact info@dsd-chemtech.com.
Brink – eXtra Performance XP™
Following a decade of research
The new generation of fiber bed mist eliminators for sulfuric acid plants
Save money with one-third fewer elements or save energy with one-third less pressure drop.
Following a decade of research and 3 years of field performance trials MECS introduces the eXtra Performance XP™ for all sulfuric acid plants in operation. The eXtra Performance offers the lowest pressure drop available in one to one comparison when compared to other elements.
