Reaction Design & Experiments

Reaction engineering studies of catalysts, catalyst screening, determination of catalyst-specific reaction kinetics and lifetime studies are among the many tasks of the Reaction Design & Experiments team.

With the obtained data, we can experimentally determine optimal catalysts and operating parameters and generate complex mathematical models of the chemical reactions. The resulting simulations can be used for design, sensitivity analysis or optimization of operating regimes. Our extensive analytical facilities, laboratory facilities and semi-industrial scale facilities for application-oriented investigations are available for experimental studies. We will be happy to adapt the setup for you and provide on-site measurements and scientific support for your processes.
