P&P-Catalysts are designed and produced individually and customer specific for new and existing plants in our own production. We like to design your special Catalyst and our process- engineers like to design a retrofit for your existing plant.
P&P-Catalysts are formed in a special honeycomb design. They reach optimized surfaces and optimized flow rates.
We like to inform you about your specific catalyst solution.
The first time a catalyst was used in the industry was in 1746 by J. Roebuck in the manufacture of lead chamber sulphuric acid. Since then catalysts have been in use in a large portion of the chemical industry. In the start only pure components were used as catalysts, but after the year 1900 multicomponent catalysts were studied and are now commonly used in the industry today.
In the chemical industry and industrial research, catalysis play an important role. Different catalysts are in constant development to reach economic, political and environmental demands.
When using a catalyst it is possible to replace a polluting chemical reaction with a more environmentally friendly alternative. Today, and in the future, this can be vital for the chemical industry. In addition it’s important for a company/researcher to pay attention to market development. If a company’s catalyst is not continually improved, another company can make progress in research on that particular catalyst and gain market share.
For a company, a new and improved catalyst can be a huge advantage for a competitive manufacturing cost. It’s extremely expensive for a company to shut down the plant because of an error in the catalyst, so the correct selection of a catalyst or a new improvement can be key to industrial success.
To achieve the best understanding and development of a catalyst it is important that different special fields work together.
These fields can be: organic chemistry, analytic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, chemical engineers and surface chemistry. The economics must also be taken into account.
