In industry, SMEs are crucial in the development of new catalytic processes and the optimization of existing ones. They work on diverse projects ranging from the development of catalytic converters for reducing vehicle emissions to the design of catalysts for chemical production processes. SMEs contribute to the scaling up of laboratory processes to industrial levels, ensuring that these processes are economically viable and environmentally friendly. They also play a key role in troubleshooting and improving existing catalytic systems, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity.
