Introducing Catelectric

Catelectric is a private advanced technology development company affiliated with the Technology Incubation Program of the University of Connecticut.  It is engaged in the development of applications for its electronic catalysis control system.  This system has been shown to be effective in every catalytic chemical reaction tested.

What We Do

Until now, the reaction rate and yield in all catalytic systems was a function of the overall physical properties of the system, which are set for its operational lifetime from the moment the catalyst is prepared and introduced into the reactor.  The only controllable parameter that had an effect on the rate of reaction was the operating temperature. 

Catelectric Corporation has developed and laboratory proven a system of electronic control for catalytic reactions.  The system operates effectively on gaseous or liquid reactants and electrical energy required to operate the system is very low.  The benefits of the system are:

· Control of the rate of reaction and acceleration of that rate by several fold over that of a state of the art catalytic system.

· Selectivity of product – increased yield of favored products and decreased production of others.

· Expansion of the set of effective catalysts, including substitution of non-noble for noble catalysts.

· Enabling reactions previously not feasible.

· Mitigation of catalyst poisoning.

Applications for this technology include catalytic processes such as auto emissions (catalytic converters), chemical production, Hydrogen reformation for fuel cells and fuel cell operations, petrochemical refining and production of pharmaceuticals - fine synthesis.  In addition, the control system enables the feasibility of difficult reactions, such as the activation of CO₂ (see our Carbon Dioxide Conversion page) , and commercial production of compounds such as propylene oxide or phenol (oxidation of benzene).

Our Mission

Catelectric is the provider of significant improvement solutions to those utilizing catalytic processes.  Our specialty is developing targeted solutions for specific reactions and enabling catalytic reactions otherwise infeasible.
