How to source 500 kg of skid-scale catalyst
Achieving a flawless 10 g catalyst synthesis in a microreactor brings an understandable sense of triumph. You’ve identified an optimal formulation. Selectivity and turnover frequency are excellent. The initial kinetic models check out. But handing that lab recipe to a commercial manufacturing partner for a 500 kg skid-scale demo changes the equation completely. The reality […]
Large-scale SOFC reforming by feedstock and architecture
Over the past decade, solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) development has focused on low-carbon hydrogen production and power-to-fuels applications. Rising data center power demand and grid capacity constraints are renewing commercial interest in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as a distributed generation option. At commercial scale, feedstock selection and reforming architecture materially affect system efficiency, equipment […]
De-risking catalyst scale-up for pilot reactors
Technical continuity frequently breaks down the moment a catalyst leaves the micro reactor lab. A formulation that works very well as a high surface area powder in the lab may face significant challenges when moving to pilot-scale reactors, where lab environments are replaced with larger-scale complexities, including those related to heat and mass transfer, pressure […]
