CATALYSTS FOR HYDROGENATION
Applied Catalysts can provide catalysts, systems, and services for continuous hydrogenation and other reductive processes common in process chemical and pharmaceutical applications, enhancing the sustainability and low cost of manufacturing.
01
How Catalytic Hydrogenation Benefits Our Clients
The hydrogenation process is commonly employed to produce chemicals and provides a selective pathway to the desired chemical. This allows the reaction to take place at milder conditions with fewer by-products.
Hydrogenations are a key part of the chemical toolkit used to produce chemical products. The hydrogenation can be tuned to part of the molecule, leaving other parts alone, or used for complete hydrogenation of the molecule delivering a wide range of product options.
02
Problems We Solve
It is sometimes difficult to optimize the catalyst and process for a highly selective process. Applied Catalysts is positioned to deliver proprietary and industry catalysts and to provide testing and engineering services at all stages of the process, lab-to-commercial scale.
