Catalysts LF909/LF908 are naphtha steam reforming catalystswith their shapes as 4-hole cylinders. They are suitable for the production of ammonia synthetic gas, industrial hydrogen, methanol synthetic gas and metallurgical reducing gas, with naphtha as the feedstock. LF909 and LF908 are loaded respectively in the upper and lower section of the reformer tube at a certain ratio. This group of catalysts have good activities, high resistance to carbon deposition and high mechanical strength, also, have they low potash loss rate, high resistance to high space velocity, high operating elasticity as well as good suitability to the reformer type. They can be used in both top-fired and side-fired reformers.
