Haldor Topsoe A/S accepts hte as methanol catalyst testing facility

HEIDELBERG [October 13, 2021]

hte – the high throughput experimentation company has been accepted by Haldor Topsoe A/S, one of the largest suppliers of methanol (MeOH) catalysts and technology, to perform rapid comparative catalyst tests including a flexible protocol for accelerated catalyst aging in a 16-fold high throughput test unit.

Haldor Topsoe A/S (Topsoe) has accepted hte for testing its MeOH catalysts in a parallel 16-fold high throughput system under industrially relevant operating conditions. hte’s high throughput systems allow for a very fast mapping of different catalysts or reaction parameters. Supported by hte’s proprietary software solutions, experiments can be executed and analyzed in a fully automated and flexible way. Consequently, the evaluation of large amounts of data sets is shortened immensely and customers can access knowledge very fast.

Lars Skyum, Senior Vice President at Topsoe commented, “hte GmbH meets Topsoe’s high standards and has therefore been accepted as methanol catalyst testing facility for our customers who may require an independent methanol catalyst test.”

Wolfram Stichert, CEO at hte, comments, "We are delighted to have successfully finished this project with Haldor Topsoe A/S. hte GmbH is very proud of working with Topsoe and we are looking forward to continuously strengthening our collaboration.”
