Processing and Environmental Catalysis Program
The Processing and Environmental Catalysis (PEC) program focuses its efforts on the development of environmentally sound and economically viable technologies for the production of:
- alternative transportation fuels, fuel additives and petrochemicals from natural gas;
- the treatment and recycling of waste oils;
- the reduction of NOx emissions from mobile sources; and
- the sustainable use of industrial low-grade heat.
Availability of Services
PEC's services are available to Canadian and foreign private sector firms from the following industrial sectors:
- chemical;
- petrochemical;
- petroleum refining; and
- natural gas processing.
R&D projects are task- or cost-shared with clients and can be customized usually to meet client needs.
Description
The following technology areas are currently being addressed:
- synthesis gas production by partial oxidation of methane using membrane reactor;
- used-oil purification processes;
- catalysts for emission reduction from mobile sources;
- the utilization of low grade waste industrial heat for increased efficiency;
- the treatment and utilization of fuels from renewable sources; and
- upgrading tire pyrolysis oils to value-added products.
