Aspen Plus models chemical plants virtually — every reactor, distillation column, heat exchanger simulated from thermodynamic first principles. Engineers design billion-dollar plants in software before pouring concrete.

Nanocyl's catalytic carbon vapor deposition (CCVD) grows multi-wall carbon nanotubes from ethylene on iron catalysts at 700°C. Our Plasticyl masterbatches reinforce automotive plastics — 1% CNT doubles tensile strength.

Jinchuan's sulfide ore deposit in Gansu yields nickel, copper, cobalt, and PGMs. Our nickel carbonyl process (Mond process: Ni + 4CO → Ni(CO)4 → Ni + 4CO) produces 99.99% pure nickel at industrial scale.
