BASF

Since 1913 BASF runs the lowest SO2-emission sulfuric acid production plants worldwide.

We design our catalysts for maximum outcomes. That starts with the unrivaled SO2-emission performance they can deliver because of their large surface area. To our customers, that means effortless regulatory compliance, no additional emission reduction costs, higher conversion, and bigger profits. These results last. Because of their exceptional physical stability, our catalysts offer a longer lifetime, deliver energy savings, and minimize downtime risks.

At BASF, all of that comes with total service dedication, reliable customer support backed by the inventor of the sulfuric acid catalysts, and decades of experience.
