There are several strategies to minimize the initial costs in catalysis:
Optimize Catalyst Selection: Choose a catalyst that offers the best balance between cost and performance. Modular Reactor Design: Use modular designs that can be scaled up or down based on requirements, reducing design and construction costs. Collaborations and Partnerships: Partner with academic institutions or other companies to share costs and resources. Government Grants and Subsidies: Seek funding from government programs that support innovation in catalytic technologies. Second-hand Equipment: Consider purchasing pre-owned equipment that meets the required specifications.
