Co-Development is Key to Catalyst Carrier Innovation & Success
Our commitment to developing custom catalyst carriers began nearly 70 years ago. We develop the ideal carriers, and our catalyst customers take the carriers and add metals and dopants to create finished catalysts for use in fixed bed processing units or slurry bed reactors.
More than 90% of our sales are related to custom catalyst carrier projects. We work exclusively with our catalyst clients to engineer the physical and chemical properties needed -- from a range of raw materials and shapes -- for each specific application requirement.
Our development efforts with catalyst clients and processors ultimately benefits catalyst selectivity, activity, and life of the catalyst. Improvements in this area can equate to substantial savings in the range of millions of dollars a year in a large-scale plant.
