Industrial Catalyst Services

SCR Catalyst Testing Services

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts deactivate over time and must be actively managed to ensure reliable plant emissions performance. Catalyst testing is the most reliable way to determine when your SCR catalyst will no longer be able to provide the required NOx conversion performance. Each catalyst is a custom-engineered product that takes several months to design, engineer, manufacture, and deliver to your facility. As such, knowing when your catalyst will reach end of life is critical for budget planning and scheduling replacement to ensure reliable plant NOx emissions performance.

CO/VOC Oxidation Catalyst Testing Services

CO oxidation catalyst performance degrades over time, so proper planning for catalyst replacement is essential to ensuring reliable plant CO emissions performance. Since it can take up to several months to specify, design, engineer, manufacture, and deliver a replacement CO catalyst charge, accurately determining when a catalyst will reach end of life is critical for outage scheduling and budget planning.

Catalyst Replacement Services

Emissions control catalyst technology is continually evolving and improving. As such, there are opportunities to improve the emissions performance of your facility and reduce the lifecycle operating costs associated with emissions control when the time comes to replace your emissions control catalysts.

CO Catalyst Recycle Services

Precious metals are the active material in most industrial CO and VOC catalysts. After these catalysts reach their end of life for field service, they retain substantial residual value due to their precious metal content.

SCR/CO System Consulting

Emissions performance can be impacted by factors anywhere from fuel combustion to monitoring at the stack. Environex has the breadth and depth of experience to quantify changes in operation on emissions performance and to identify and fix operational problems that are adversely affecting stack emissions. Environex also offers design consulting and regulatory consulting services, drawing from deep industry experience. Environex has been providing SCR and CO system operation consulting services to industrial clients since 1991. Our experience ranges from internal combustion engines to large coal boilers, small on-site power generation to large Frame turbines, biomass plants and municipal waste incinerators to refinery applications, and everything in between.

Industrial Catalyst Short Course

Environex offers an annual comprehensive two-day short course on industrial catalyst emissions control technologies with a focus on SCR and CO catalyst technologies. The course provides valuable SCR training to O&M personnel and others with an interest in the industry. The course is open for anyone who wants to attend. Customized private courses are also available upon request.

PGM Technology Consulting

PGM Forecast & Market Analysis

PGM demand is dominated by the Automotive Industry which uses these unique materials for durable emission aftertreatment. This market is largely driven by powertrain and catalyst technology, legislation, and economics, so small changes in powertrain or catalyst technology can have significant consequences for PGM demand. Full understanding of catalytic PGM chemistry is therefore critical to forming a valid outlook. The legislative net is widening, growing to encompass more types of vehicles, equipment, and other engines.

PGM Process & Refining Technology

Environex has significant experience auditing PGM refining and separations processes, optimizing them for efficiency and selectivity, while minimizing waste streams. Environex has also developed novel refining processes from the idea phase all the way through scale-up.
