Avantium’s high throughput experimentation technology has been of significant importance to the success of our catalyst development program. This strategic relationship ensures rapid knowledge transfer which brings the new leading-edge products quicker to market, to the benefit of our clients; a key performance indicator for both CRI and Avantium.

BP has worked with Avantium in the areas of catalyst discovery and process scoping. The BP and Avantium technology teams collaborated closely in a flexible relationship that was able to exploit the strengths of each company. Our collaborations with Avantium were both fruitful and enjoyable. One way to think of what Avantium does is looking for a needle in a haystack with high-throughput as the metal detector. BP

IFPEN has carefully evaluated the market for advanced technologies in the field of catalytic research and has decided for Avantium's Flowrence® technology. It is Avantium's advanced technology combined with their application knowledge that made us decide to collaborate with Avantium on a strategic basis. The Flowrence units have allowed us to increase our testing capacity by a factor of 4 whilst reducing our operational costs. We recommend the Flowrence technology for the screening and the ranking of catalysts and remain at your disposal to share our experience with Avantium. IFPEN

Avantium’s 16-reactor fixed bed Flowrence® XR unit was used to study the deposition of 23 different metallic precursors for propyne dimerization to hexadienes in a high-throughput data-driven campaign. “It is clear that the improved activity obtained in this synergistic study could not have been discovered a priori; the high-throughput approach was critical to finding the precise experimental and synthetic conditions at which the catalysts showed meaningful selectivity and conversion to hexadiene.” Argonne National Laboratory

We are now welcoming Avantium’s high-throughput reaction screening platform. We will use the Flowrence ® XD to test our synthesized catalysts for the direct conversion of CO/CO2 to form basic chemicals, for methanol reforming, and for studying ammonia synthesis, all reactions which are crucial to the energy and feedstock transitions. Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel

These new Flowrence systems strengthen our high-throughput facilities for heterogeneous catalysis and make sure that our researchers keep having access to state of the art technology. We have an excellent experience with Avantium’s equipment and technical support and look forward to developing new catalysts by making use of these systems. KAUST Catalysis Center
