Catator AB products

Catator offer you novel reformer and fuel processing technology: minimum amount of catalyst with maximum performance, compact reactor with high efficiency, extreme flexibility and better economy. Our efficient fuel processor units, for generation of hydrogen (H2), are multi-fuel processors and work with a wide range of fuels, e.g. natural gas, LPG, ethanol, methanol, diesel, kerosene and jet-fuel (JP8). We have reformers for SREF (Steam Reforming), CPO (Catalytic Partial Oxidation), ATR (Autothermal Reformer) and combination of the different reforming technologies (Multiformer).

The HexiFormer fuel processor is based on a plate heat exchange design. It is offered as an individual unit for SREF, WGS and PROX reactions.
The HexiFormer units are operated with a very accurate temperature control, and can be used for temperatures up to 950° C.

The MultiFormer fuel processor is preferably used with SOFC stacks. The unit can be operated in both Catalytic Partial Oxidation (CPO) mode and Autothermal Reformer (ATR) mode. The Multiformer units have mainly been used for reformation of jetfuel , like JP8, or other similar fuels that contains high concentration of Sulphur.

Catalytic reactions are either endothermal or exothermal recations. Catator has always worked with integration of catalytic reactions and heat exchange technology. We have the know-how and the ability to design and to manufacture plate heat exchangers, or tube heat exchangers, which can be catalyzed in different ways. We can combine both exothermal (combustion) and endothermal reactions (reformation) on each side of a heat exchanger, which results in very compact units.

Catator has developed a number of different catalytic burners for various applications for several decades. Most of the burners are used in different fuel cell systems, boiler applications and other heat or steam production applications.
