CHALLENGES • LACK OF SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN GOVERNMENTAL SECTION TO SUPPORT LOCAL CATALYST PRODUCTION. • LACK OF SUFFICIENT COOPERATION BETWEEN RESEARCH CENTERS AND CATALYST PRODUCERS. • LACK OF SUFFICIENT COOPERATION BETWEEN THE CATALYST PRODUCERS AND CATALYST END USERS • NONAVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS FOR PRODUCTION OF CATALYST SUPPORTS • LACK OF SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN BANKING SYSTEMS TO FACILITATE BANK SERVICES TO THE CATALYST PRODUCERS • AFTER SALE TECHNICAL SUPPORT OF END USERS
CONCLUSION AND PROPOSALS • Rapid Growth of Local Catalyst Production in recent years, • Opportunity for production of Catalysts which are not in production locally yet, • Due attention for local production of Catalyst Supports, • Necessity for developing of Strategic Planning for overall supporting of local production in Governmental Section. This Planning should be implemented through a wide and pervasive map-road which can cover all concerns of the Authorities.
CONCLUSION AND PROPOSALS • Economical production should be concerned by all local Catalyst Manufacturers, • Due attentions should be made by Catalyst Manufacturers for the obligations as they are liable for meeting of performance guarantees and liquidated damages. • Strengthen the relations between Research Centers and Catalyst Manufacturers.
