Microwave Assisted Catalysis (MAC) System

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

The MAC system is a modular, compact, and turnkey reactor system that converts remote associated natural gas resources into value-added chemicals, like benzene, toluene, and xylene, as an alternative to flaring. The system uses novel microwave-assisted catalytic technology that enables on-demand chemical production compared to traditionally heated catalytic systems.
