The world demand for polyolefins is rapidly growing. This, combined with the record low prices of olefin monomer feedstocks is resulting in a real rennaisance in polyolefins catalysis R&D.
ILS was approached by a client in this project to demonstrate the feasibility of using small-scale, parallel fixed-bed reactors for screening selective hydrogenation catalysts.
Methanol synthesis is one of the most important bulk chemical processes in the world. The very first two 16-parallel high-throughput fixed-bed units were made by ILS for Clariant nearly 12 years ago.
