Catalyst Screening & Enabling Technology

Our services in catalysis reaction development are differentiated through our integrated approach in the overall process development. We develop efficient catalytic reactions by utilizing the newest tools together with verified experimental high throughput techniques, scientific and industrial knowledge.

• Custom development planning (early development vs. manufacturing process or fit for purpose vs. optimized for efficiency).
• Catalyst screening based on published scientific knowledge and more than 20 years of industrial experience in catalysis research.
• Increased catalyst performance through mechanistic understanding.
• Process optimization using high throughput DoE experimentation.
• Process stability with Kinetic-DoE
• Scale-up under best engineering consideration and representative scalable procedures.
• Efficient technology transfer
