TOMSK, Oct 22 –
RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk State University (TSU)
improved the technical characteristics of aluminosilicate adsorbent used at oil
and gas facilities and produced at the Salavat Catalyst Plant (Bashkortostan);
this will allow the company to increase competitiveness in Russia and abroad,
the university’s press service said on Tuesday.
It is specified
that the TSU chemists were tasked with improving the technical characteristics
of the aluminosilicate adsorbent used at oil and gas industry facilities.
Aluminosilicate adsorbents – gray, white or colorless, transparent or matted
granules – are used in the industry for drying gas atmospheres, and can be used
as carriers of organic synthesis catalysts.
"The
development of physical and chemical properties using the modern instrument
base of the Faculty of Chemistry (FC) of TSU and the competencies of the
Engineering Center of Chemical Technology (ECCT) made it possible to obtain
updated brands of adsorbents that are superior of their operational properties
to their analogues on the market", – is said in the report.
It is added that
timely updating of product properties with the involvement of scientists will
allow the domestic manufacturer to successfully compete in the adsorbent market
not only in Russia but also abroad.

"The
implementation of such industry-oriented work is possible only with the close
cooperation of science, engineering and industrial enterprise interested in
supplying of high-quality products that meet all consumer requirements", –
senior researcher of the Laboratory for Catalytic Research of TSU Faculty of
Chemistry Grigory Mamontov is quoted in the message.
The Salavat
Catalyst Plant (SkatZ LLC) is the largest producer of catalysts and adsorbents
for enterprises in the oil and gas sector in the Russian Federation. Its
competencies include production and delivery of products, engineering of
processes for drying and purifying gases and liquids, designing of sorption
systems and performing of a full cycle of work to increase the efficiency of
existing plants.
