Miratech Emission Catalysts

Miratech recently added EmeraChem, a custom catalyst manufacturer, to its portfolio, a move that has allowed the company to bring a new set of catalyst products to the gas compression industry. Those products include the MeC and MeC-Beast (Mec-B) oxidation catalyst line, which combines Miratech turbulent foil technology with EmeraChem’s nano surface technologies and precious metal formulations. The MeC and MeC-B catalysts replace all the legacy offerings from both companies and provide customers with several new products offering better performance and better warranties.

Miratech’s turbulent foil technology consists of zones within the catalyst that create turbulence in the exhaust stream. The turbulence causes the pollutants in the exhaust, such as NOx, carbon monoxide, VOCs and formaldehyde, to make constant and repeated contact with the catalyst’s precious metals. The reactions between the metals and the pollutants make for a much cleaner exhaust stream than traditional catalysts.

Before the acquisition, Miratech had the turbulent foils, but not the EmeraChem’s surface technology and metals. Miratech’s engine emissions control systems used catalysts specified by Miratech engineers but manufactured by other companies. These catalysts incorporated Vortex and NEXT substrates, which added to the efficiency of the catalyst. EmeraChem’s surface technologies and metal formulations created similar efficiency improvements as the Miratech technology but created less backpressure for the engine.

 

 

Other benefits with the new product line include a thermally stabilized wash coat that provides greater resistance to sintering during prolonged operation at high temperatures, a higher tolerance to contaminants found in engine exhaust, lube oil and coolants, and an advanced form of Rh platinum that improves service life and regenerative responsiveness to catalyst washes.

Miratech combines superior quality with high performance and durability. With the support of an extremely responsive manufacturer, RJ Mann & Associates, Inc. can now quote the shortest lead times for custom sized catalyst elements, catalyst frames, housings and silencers.
