What this consultancy can do for your
business.
v
Much effort is
directed at finding new catalysts. During catalyst development, the catalyst
must be made sufficiently stable for commercial operation. The testing strategy
must be well-planned.
v
Process research
into catalyst performance optimization and catalyst deactivation is often very
cost-effective with a short pay-back time but you need expert knowledge and
experience to do this well.
v
Do your scientists have
the expert knowledge and experience in catalyst deactivation, necessary to find
the optimum solution? Do they have the
time to search effectively through the enormous volume of existing literature
and understand the lessons? Do they need additional help for any project
associated with reaction kinetics and/ or catalysis?
§
for the monitoring and
optimization of catalyst lifetime performance,
§
for the systematic
investigation of catalyst decay mechanism and catalyst decay kinetics and the
influence of the reaction engineering on catalyst decay,
§
for catalyst life-testing
and accelerated decay testing of new catalysts,
§
for design and testing of
reaction models,
§
for many other projects
in process R&D.
Enormous database of published information on all aspects of catalyst deactivation.
v
When a catalyst underperforms
against expectation, the subsequent dialogue between catalyst vendor and
catalyst user may be unproductive.
The catalyst user may suspect some
change in the catalyst manufacturing process.
The catalyst
vendor may suspect some change in the product manufacturing process.
Careful investigation and diagnosis with help
from an independent expert can help to resolve these disputes.
v
So you have invented a catalyst, and
applied for patent cover, but does it really have commercial potential?
