About us
The Laboratory of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Reaction Engineering is a part of the Department of the Chemical engineering at College of Engineering, King Saud University (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and its roots date back to late nineties. Established under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Anis and it has touched the pinnacles of success with developing and improvising new techniques in heterogeneous catalysis. The first fruitful contribution, from this lab, was the development of catalyst for production of acetic acid from ethane in a single step process, through project supported by SABIC. The pivotal emphasis of our research team is aimed at applying a fundamental understanding gained from lab scale experiments, together with suitable knowledge of catalysis, to meet the industrial challenges of clean energy production. A high level of commitment distinguishes it in the catalysis research arena and drives toward even deeper and advanced levels of study. It serves as a promoting platform where the best and the brightest scientists/researchers do cutting edge research to explore innovative scientific support for advancement in the domain of present and future catalysis industry.
