Flow Chemistry

In the realm of chemical synthesis, the transition from batch to continuous flow processing is revolutionizing the industry. Evonik Catalysts is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a suite of advanced catalyst solutions that significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Discover the potential of flow chemistry with Evonik's expertise and innovation.

Nickel Foam

Most chemical processes use catalysts in granule, extrudate, tablet or powder form. At Evonik, we are constantly asking ourselves how to make a difference. That’s why we have developed a much better alternative to conventional catalysts for fixed-bed applications. Our innovative metal foams are a game changer. They perform better, are more efficient and sustainable.
