Custom Catalysts, Supports & Adsorbents

Your Process, Perfected: From Concept to Custom Catalyst

At Aogochem, we understand that off-the-shelf materials often fall short of the precise demands of modern industrial processes. Our Custom Catalyst, Support & Adsorbent Development Service is your dedicated partnership for engineering advanced chemical solutions that are uniquely optimized for your application. We move beyond standard specifications to collaborate deeply with your R&D and engineering teams, targeting specific performance metrics—be it enhanced selectivity, superior activity, extended lifetime, or unmatched mechanical strength. Leveraging our core expertise across zeolites (ZSM, Y, Beta), alumina carriers (γ-Al₂O₃, α-Al₂O₃), silica gels, and molecular sieves (3A, 4A, 13X, LiLSX), we design, synthesize, and scale materials that solve your most complex challenges. Whether you need a proprietary catalyst for a novel petrochemical route, a specialized adsorbent for gas separation, or a high-purity alumina support for an energy application, our technical team provides end-to-end support from lab-scale feasibility and rapid prototyping to pilot production and commercial-scale manufacturing. Partner with Aogochem to transform your process concept into a competitive reality, achieving breakthrough efficiency, yield, and product quality through tailored material science.

Our Collaborative Customization Process

We follow a structured, collaborative approach to ensure your custom material delivers targeted results.

Phase 1: Deep-Dive Technical Consultation & Requirement Analysis
Our engineers work with you to define the critical parameters: reaction chemistry, operating conditions (T/P), feedstock impurities, desired product mix, deactivation mechanisms, and regeneration protocols. This stage establishes the clear performance benchmarks for success.

Phase 2: Material Design & Lab-Scale Feasibility
Drawing from our vast library of formulations and morphologies—including spherical, extruded, powdered, or monolithic structures—we design a candidate material. We explore key variables: active component loading, promoter elements, binder systems, pore architecture (micropore/mesopore), and acidity/basicity control. Multiple prototypes are synthesized and subjected to rigorous benchtop testing.

Phase 3: Performance Optimization & Accelerated Aging
The most promising candidates undergo advanced characterization (BET, XRD, SEM, TPR/TPD) and performance testing in our application-simulated reactors. We conduct accelerated lifetime and stability tests to predict long-term performance under your specific conditions, including exposure to poisons like sulfur or metals.

Phase 4: Pilot-Scale Production & Validation
Once optimized, the formulation is scaled up in our pilot plant to produce representative volumes for your in-house evaluation. We ensure the scaled material replicates lab performance and provide comprehensive technical data packages.

Phase 5: Commercial-Scale Manufacturing & Ongoing Support
Following your approval, we initiate full-scale production with stringent quality control. We remain your long-term partner, offering technical support, performance monitoring, and iterative improvements as your process evolves.

Core Technology Platforms for Customization

Our service is built upon deep mastery of key material families:

• Custom Zeolite Catalysts & Adsorbents: Tailoring ZSM-5, Y, Beta, and specialized structures (ZSM-22, ZSM-23) for applications in FCC, MTO, alkylation, isomerization, and shape-selective catalysis. We customize Si/Al ratio, crystal size, and acidity.

• Custom Alumina & Specialty Oxide Carriers: Engineering γ-Al₂O₃, α-Al₂O₃, and mixed oxide supports with controlled surface area, pore size distribution, and thermal/hydrothermal stability for high-temperature catalytic reactions and adsorption.

• Custom Molecular Sieves: Developing 3A, 4A, 5A, 13X, LiLSX (for VPSA O₂), and Carbon Molecular Sieves (for PSA N₂) with optimized adsorption kinetics and capacity for gas drying, purification, and separation.

• Custom Silica & Silica-Alumina Gels: Formulating high-strength gels and adsorbents for demanding environments, combining adsorption capacity with specific mechanical or indicator properties.

• Custom Industrial Catalysts: Applying our know-how to design sulfur recovery catalysts, selective oxidation catalysts (for phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride), and other fixed-bed catalysts.
