Biorenewables products and services

Following recent environmental legislation and an increasing awareness on the part of product manufacturers for sustainable products, the need to replace non-renewable fossil raw materials is more apparent than ever.

This kit contains 7 ene reductase (ENE) enzymes for the reduction of C=C double bonds in the presence of an electron withdrawing group (EWG).

This kit contains 17 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzymes for the reduction of ketones and aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols.

Our chiral amines kit contains a comprehensive section of enzymes classes capable of transforming a variety of substrates into primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

Johnson Matthey’s DAVY™ biodiesel process offers a solution to this problem. Our flowsheet can employ inexpensive low-quality non-edible feeds, in addition to virgin and higher-quality oils.

Esters are organic compounds characterised by the RCOOR’ functional group, and are most commonly derived from the reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols.

We offer catalysts for selective hydrogenation, for both ethylene plant configurations: front-end and tail-end.

Our amination catalysts are used for a variety of speciality amines production and downstream of our oxo-alcohol catalysts.

Johnson Matthey supplies both un-reduced and pre-reduced ammonia synthesis catalysts, based on more than 80 years' operating experience with ICI.

We have formulated PRICAT™ PD 468 to ensure high C4 acetylene conversion whilst minimising butadiene hydrogenation and green oil formation.
