New Catalyst for Cleaner, Faster Hydrogen Peroxide Breakdown

A Game-Changer for Aerospace, Energy, and Industrial Use

Posted

DCL International has introduced an advanced catalyst designed to break down hydrogen peroxide more efficiently and safely. This new technology speeds up the decomposition process while ensuring that only oxygen and water vapor are released—eliminating harmful byproducts. The catalyst’s durability and high performance make it ideal for industries such as aerospace, renewable energy, medical sterilization, and wastewater treatment.

How the Technology Works

This catalyst is built using a special metal structure that provides a large surface area for the reaction to take place. It can handle gas speeds of over 2,000 meters per second—more than 130 times faster than typical automotive catalysts.

With a dense cell structure of up to 3,000 cpsi (cells per square inch), and future models expected to reach 4,000 cpsi, this design maximizes efficiency, even under extreme pressure. The catalyst’s strong metal construction also helps it withstand high heat and mechanical stress, making it reliable for tough industrial applications.

Where This Catalyst Is Making an Impact

DCL’s new technology has already been tested in real-world applications. In the aerospace industry, it was recently used in a private rocket launch, proving its effectiveness in high-performance propulsion systems.

Beyond space and defense, other industries are also benefiting from this innovation:

  • Renewable Energy – Helps generate cleaner energy by safely breaking down hydrogen peroxide.
  • Medical Sterilization – Improves sterilization processes in hospitals and labs while reducing harmful waste.
  • Wastewater Treatment – Ensures hydrogen peroxide is broken down safely for better water management.

Shazam Williams, DCL’s Technical Director, highlights how this breakthrough meets the increasing demand for cleaner and more efficient chemical processes. By combining speed, durability, and safety, this catalyst supports industries looking for greener, high-performance solutions.
