BASF designs catalysts for maximum performance. Since 1913, we have run production plants with the lowest levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in the world. That’s because the large surface area of our sulfuric acid catalysts delivers an unrivaled SO2 emission profile.
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, energy savings and minimal downtime risks.
At BASF, all of that comes with total service dedication, reliable customer support backed by the inventor of sulfuric acid catalysts, and decades of experience.
Because BASF designs sulfuric acid catalysts to maximize outcomes, their exceptional stability and large surface area deliver consistent, lasting results. Our customers receive a longer-lasting catalyst with exceptionally low SO2 emissions, energy savings and reduced downtime risks, which translates to improved regulatory compliance, saved costs and more profit. Our knowledgeable specialists deliver all that along with dedicated customer support.

Patents: Never Stop Inventing
In 1913, the first patent on the vanadium-based catalyst was granted to BASF. Invented by BASF, the vanadium-based catalyst is still the chemical foundation of all sulfuric acid catalysts on the market.
That’s how the new O4-115 Quattro was born. The latest addition to our catalyst family features a 30 percent higher surface area and improved pore accessibility to boost performance, reduce emissions and further increase your plant capacity. This new shape is patented by BASF.
