Process and Product Development: Innovative Solutions for Catalysts and Scale-Up

Research and development (R&D) programs are expensive. There are no guarantees for success. Accessing resources and facilities capable of transforming novel ideas into market-ready products is a barrier. 

Transforming R&D, Scale-Up, and Economic Success

The Catalyst Group Consulting (TCGC) has a unique approach to advancing R&D projects. We don’t own R&D laboratories. Instead, TCGC has established a global network of university laboratories, industry-operated pilot plants and strategic client partnerships.
University Lab Partnerships

Result: TCGC leverages access to state-of-the-art analytical and R&D equipment for new catalysts, catalysis materials and energy transition processes giving our clients cost-effective access to resources they need.

This lean collaborative model yields opportunities for:

Developing New Catalysts: Create new materials to meet future market needs.

Optimizing Manufacturing Processes: Solve critical processing challenges like byproduct reduction, selectivity improvements and environmental regulations.

Scaling New Products: Seamlessly transition from pilot plants to full-scale production, moving from TRL6 to TRL9 with minimum risk.

TCGC channels process technology and engineering expertise into product and market developments.
