CATALYSIS

Catalysis Gas Analysis Solutions from Process Insights

Researchers studying the use of catalysts strive to understand how they function and respond under different conditions. To achieve this, tracking both the inlet and outlet of the reactor is essential. By analyzing the outlet stream composition, scientists gain insights into the reaction pathway, efficiency, and selectivity of the catalyst.

That is why leading researchers rely on Extrel™ laboratory gas analyzers—renowned for their accuracy, flexibility, and performance. Moreover, scaling up to production is seamless thanks to the EXTREL™ MAX 300-RTG 2.0 Quadrupole Industrial Gas Analyzer, which is functionally similar but designed for pilot and full-scale manufacturing environments.
