Several types of field tests are conducted to evaluate different aspects of catalyst performance:
Pilot Plant Tests: These tests involve scaling up laboratory experiments to a smaller version of an industrial plant. They provide valuable insights into the catalyst's behavior under near-operational conditions. On-Site Testing: This involves installing the catalyst directly into an existing industrial process to observe its real-time performance. Environmental Impact Studies: These tests assess how the catalyst affects environmental factors, such as emissions and effluent quality.
