The Laboratory of Environmental Fuels and Hydrocarbons (LEFH) in collaboration with the Laboratory of Analysis and Characterization of Solids is able to carry out collaborative or contract research on applied catalysis based on the following key competencies derived from the following knowledge base:
  • Analytical methods for physical and chemical analysis of gaseous and liquid organic mixtures (GC, GC/MS, PIONA, S speciation in gasoline).
  • Analysis and characterization of heterogeneous catalysts.
  • Operation and data analysis from bench and pilot scale batch and continuous fixed and fluid bed reactor system.

Based on the above core competencies unique technology has been developed (LEFH is used by BP, HAR, OMV, Akzo/Nobel among others for outsourcing key research and technology services) in the following main areas:

  • Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst evaluation studies
  • FCC additives evaluation studies
  • Hydrogen Desulfurization (HDS) catalyst evaluation studies
