Catalysts & Functional Materials
Industry Challenges
Catalyst producers respond to the drivers affecting their customers. This includes the need for more environmentally-friendly processes, and the wish to vary feedstocks to respond to changing market dynamics. This creates a requirement for more flexible catalysts which can adapt to process or feedstock changes, and encourages catalysts producers to shorten the development timelines to respond quickly to their customers’ wishes. Extending the life time of catalysts generally offers operational benefits to most manufacturers. Functional materials are pressed to simultaneously meet the consumer-driven needs of more cost effective materials, while also improving performance in areas such as energy density or thermo-electric properties.
We help energy companies to discover how to meet ambitious environmental requirements in a cost effective way.
Our parallel reactors reduce the time required to determine the catalyst and process conditions which will meet the changing market needs, and our user friendly software avoids this becoming a headache for laboratory researchers. Running catalyst robustness studies in ILS systems determines how to reduce the downtime for catalyst changeovers. The ILS contract research service helps energy producers with urgent needs access our state of the art research tools.
