Our laboratory​

Facilities in Rhode Island and Massachusetts



Catalytic Innovations has a laboratory bay, with access to fume hoods and a scanning electron microscope, at the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship in Fall River, MA. Our facilities feature high pressure reactors for CO2 electrolysis and hydrogenation R&D, a potentiostat-galvanostat electrochemical test station, distillation systems, and gas chromatographs.

​















We are fully equipped for high pressure hydrogenation, electrochemical, and materials testing, and distillation contract R&D (ASTM D6352, D2887, D86).


Fully integrated electrochemical and thermochemical reactors can be constructed on request.  

Catalytic Innovations licenses and sells patented anticorrosion technology from Yale University and has additional patent-pending technologies.
