QID announces Platinum substitute for LT- WATER GAS SHIFT (LT-WGS)
Friday, 01 October 2010 08:42
QID announces QIDPt for LT-WGS (Water Gas Shift). The new catalyst will replace Platinum and other catalysts to reduce running cost and maximize performance of Water Gas Shift reaction.
The product will be ready by Q32011.
"We are establishing several relationships with companies requiring a WGS catalyst with lower costs, but definitely higher longevity and efficiency than the current commercial ones. We plan to launch pilot tests during next winter." commented Stefano Gallucci, CEO of QID.
Renzo Rosei, President of QID said "QIDPt for WGS will be a real innovation. We’re building a strong technology platform attractive for oil refinement, hydrogen and ammonia production, and several other industrial sectors in need to replace Platinum and Rhodium”
QID
QID is a nanotechnology company offering new catalyst to replace rare and expensive materials as Platinum and Rhodium broadly used in many industries and clean technologies.
QID addresses the market of catalysts and the chemical industry that processes them. Examples include automotive, environment, pollution control, oil refinement, and hydrogen production and fuel cell technology (cleantech). These markets offer a limitless and very rich opportunity for expansion.
Our added value is a general approach that allows to design the result to a specific reaction, knowing from the beginning what to do, what materials are involved, how to assemble them. This is an enormous advantage over competition because it gives QID the ability to fast develop new catalysts with low R&D activity.
QID is a private company with headquarters in Vicenza and labs in Trieste (Italy) at the Elettra Synchrotron, Padova (Italy) at the Veneto Nanotech facilities and Strasbourg (France). The management of the company has been working and studying catalysis for more than 20 years, leading the nanotechnology research and development at major International Research Institutions and large chemical companies and are experts in synchrotron light and chemical synthesis.
