It’s exciting to explore new technologies with the potential to solve global challenges – and create a better future for everyone.

We help our customers get the most out of their processes and products,using the least possible energy and resources, in the most responsible way.

As the world’s population grows, and average wealth increases, people will need more of the things our customers supply. Our customers will have to ensure they are getting as much out of their operations and raw materials as possible, increasing the effectiveness of their process or products to meet increasing demand.

Increasing demand forproducts and services

As our natural resources become increasingly precious, our customers will need to ensure they can find renewable alternatives or operate using as few natural resources as possible, conserving energy, water, and other natural resources to create lasting business impact.

Increasing constraint on natural resources

As regulations to protect our climate, health, and welfare become increasingly stringent, our customers will need to ensure they do no harm while creating a more prosperous and sustainable future for their communities and the planet.

Increasing environmental regulation and focus on responsibility

Our customers are under constant pressure to get more from less -

•activity •availability•capacity •carbon efficiency•cleanliness•conversion•co-production•cost efficiency •cycle length•efficiency •energy efficiency •energy flexibility•feedstock flexibility•fuel economy•lifetime

•onstream factor•opportunities•output•plant efficiency•product properties •production level•production rate•profitability•purity •reliability•safety•speed•stability •yield•yield structure

•capital cost•downtime •emissions•energy consumption•environmental impact •leakages •operating cost•pressure-drop •production cost•risk•start-up time•steam consumption•time•total cost of ownership•waste

even the smallest improvements can add up to something really significant

Helping maximize (the GOOD) Helping minimize (the BAD)

Catalysis and surface science have a vital role to play in

• Chemical processes are used in the production of countless everyday objects, including food, fuel, electronics, and medicine.

• Almost all chemical processes utilize catalysts, and more than 90% of all industrial products are made using catalysis in some way.

• In a catalytic process, catalysts promote the chemical reaction without being consumed by the process themselves.

• When a catalyst catalyzes a chemical process, the chemical reaction happens faster, using much less energy while also avoiding the production of unwanted byproducts.

+Business and technical services

+

We design, engineer and license a broad range of processes for chemical processing, hydroprocessing and emissions management.

+High-performance catalysts

We supply a range of more than 150 different catalysts and have the capability to design and manufacture custom catalysts for specific tasks.

We can provide a complete range of proprietary equipment, spare parts and consumables, designed and manufactured to last and work optimally.

From evaluating the feasibility of a new plant or product, to designing it, getting it built and running optimally, we provide a full range of services.

Our scientists and engineers are experienced in realizing potential from molecular scale in the lab to mass production and industrial scale for customers

We are pioneers in surface science and experts at delivering its benefits through engineering. We excel at ensuring breakthroughs that work at nanoscale in the lab also work at industrial scale for our customers. This integration of science and engineering enables us to help our customers take full control of the chemical, physical, and kinetic variables affecting the performance of their processes and products.

Laboratory scale0.000001m = 1mm

Production scale0.001m = 1mm

Industrial scale1.0m = 1m

There’s always a better way to do things. If it’s not scientifically proven that something can’t be improved, we believe it can.
