en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) has commissioned Metacon AB (publ)'s R&D center in Patras, Greece, to develop a dedicated catalytic reaction testing unit. This project serves as a pilot step before DIFFER launches a larger-scale research initiative in the relevant field.
The system is designed to study the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into value-added products. It can operate under harsh conditions, featuring precise control of pressure, temperature, and flow, along with integrated data acquisition and process control functions.
Metacon's capabilities in process and reactor design, system integration, and control software development are demonstrated in this project. The deliverable will be a fully integrated platform suitable for laboratory and pilot-scale research scenarios.
Christer Wikner, CEO and President of Metacon, stated that this commission reflects the deep engineering and research expertise of the Patras team. He noted a sustained market demand for advanced testing systems that enable customers to evaluate new catalytic processes and accelerate their technology development.
Metacon's R&D team in Patras has over 20 years of experience in hydrogen-related technologies, covering catalytic processes, fuel production pathways, and system integration. The team combines laboratory infrastructure with engineering design capabilities, enabling it to independently complete the entire workflow from design and construction to control systems.
