Tech Park Indigenizes Catalyst to Improve Gasoline Quality

Researchers at Pardis Technology Park have introduced special catalysts used in reforming units in refineries to produce quality gasoline, the project director said.
"Most of the catalysts used in refineries are imported. Two French and American companies produce over 95% of the world's reforming catalysts. China and Russia have a meager share of the global market but their products are not of high quality. Now we have produced a catalyst using nanotechnology which has a high performance,” Hamzeh Kazerouni was quoted as saying by ISNA.
“The reforming unit is the heart of a refinery and it requires a catalyst to perform the reactions,” he said.
