Catalysts for Energy Systems

Air pollution created by major industrial sources including chemical plants, oil refineries and power producers has been a major focus of environmental regulations worldwide, particularly in response to the associated health threats.  Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and E.U. European Environmental Agency (EEA) continue to implement various regulations in an effort to reduce harmful air pollutants (i.e. U.S. Clean Air Act and E.U. National Emission Ceilings Directive).  As of 2009, the EPA has issued 96 air toxics regulations impacting over 174 categories of major industrial sources with requirements in a number of the regulations having taken effect between 1999 and 2005.  When fully implemented, these standards are projected to reduce annual air toxics emissions by about 1.7 million tons.

Our Solution

Catalytic Solutions develops and produces catalysts for use in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and carbon monoxide (CO) reduction systems, which are used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) and CO emissions from major utility plants, industrial process plants, OEMs, refineries, food processors, product manufacturers and universities. Our customized catalysts provide design flexibility and our MPC® coating technology allows for optimal temperature operation of the plant and an overall superior system design when compared to existing technologies. We have achieved this demonstrated performance advantage by creating a catalyst using unique nanostructures with superior stability under prolonged exposure to high temperatures
