UOP History

Research

The mission of UOP’s Research efforts is to constantly develop and improve innovative technologies for your company’s sustainable growth and customer satisfaction.

In order to realize this mission, UOP researchers have developed a full toolbox for innovation in core R & D areas, including materials science, catalysis and process development. This research toolbox contains integrated techniques for new materials synthesis, advanced characterization, multi-scale modeling from molecular to process scale, nanotechnology, and advanced sensing and process control. Its tools include high throughput synthesis, characterization and testing methods.

Currently, we are using these enablers for innovation to reinvigorate UOP’s traditional strengths in the Refining, Petrochemical, Gas Processing, and Manufacturing industries. These tools are also supporting development of new chemistry and technology in areas such as alternate feedstocks, cleaner fuels, hydrogen production, and green process technology.
