Catalyst cost is always a natural point of focus, for our customers and for us. So at Süd-Chemie we constantly address this issue on two fronts: with ongoing efforts to reduce catalyst costs and increase catalyst performance efficiencies.
For example, while precious metals produce higher activity, they are also more expensive to use than base metals. So we have developed techniques to maximize their utilization...
For instance, we are able to disperse metals in special ways to obtain maximum reactivity from virtually every gram of active component! This high turnover frequency maximizes both the activity and the cost-efficiency of the process.
