LtdClariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its EnviCat N2O-S nitrous abatement catalyst is performing successfully at Sichuan Lutianhua's nitric acid plant and is projected to reduce annual emissions by 275 kilotons of CO2eq. Sichuan Lutianhua is one of the winners of Clariant's 2021-2022 global Climate Campaign, which offered a free load of the catalyst to nitric acid producers lacking N2O abatement technology. Located in Sichuan Province, China, the 135 KTA nitric acid plant started operating in 2009 with no N2O removal system in place.
