At Southern Research, we recently expanded our catalyst research capabilities to include the ability to manufacture catalysts of many different types, including Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts for NOx reduction in power generating plants, catalysts for the purpose of destroying destructive gasification byproducts, such as H2S, NH3, and tars, Fischer-Tropsch and other syngas reforming catalysts, water-gas shift catalysts, and many other varieties of catalysts that are of interest to the power, environmental, and many other industries.
Catalyst Test Facility - Southern Research
The Southern Research Catalyst Test Facility (CTF) has been used for years to test (1) SCR catalysts for deNOx, mercury oxidation, and SO2 to SO3 formation, (2) other catalysts, sorbents, and reagents for catalytic activity and reactivity, and (3) to elucidate fundamental chemical reactions. In addition to the CTF, the Power Systems Research group has now created the Catalyst Development Laboratory, which adds the capability of manufacturing catalysts of all types for both fundamental research and larger quantities for applied research and demonstrations. In addition to catalyst-development equipment, the Catalyst Development Laboratory also includes significant catalyst-characterization capabilities.
