The Extended History of PRICAT(TM) 468 for C4 Acetylene Hydrogenation South Texas Section May 2011 Meeting Originally delivered May 5, 2011 Source: STS - South Texas Section Type: Archived WebinarLevel: Advanced PDHs: 1.00 Share This Post: Preview Webinar: Step three of the 'Eight Steps to Specify a Catalyst Bed' is selecting the catalyst. The process of developing and selecting catalysts is often shrouded in mystery. Examining the history of a product development can demystify the process.
