INFRA and PETRONAS ink agreement to develop specialist Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst

In Texas, INFRA Technology Group and PETRONAS Research entered a research and development collaboration agreement for the development of a specialist Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst. The project will be phased over several years to identify and develop a catalyst with optimum yield based on the required project parameters.

The collaborative team, comprising members from INFRA’s R&D unit and PETRONAS’ Group Research & Technology (GR&T) under Project Delivery & Technology (PD&T), will utilize INFRA’s state-of-the-art laboratory, catalyst factory and FT Pilot Plant located in Moscow, Russia to complete the project.

The team will share knowledge and expertise to deliver the optimum catalyst for PETRONAS’ upcoming projects, concluding with commercial viability that will benefit the project ecosystem.
