E 3 TEC

E³Tec was founded by Dr. C. B. Panchal in 2007 as a spin-off from Argonne National Laboratory. E³Tec provides consulting services to the process industry for mitigation of petroleum fouling, energy efficiency technologies and commercialization of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) with the focus on abatement of global CO₂ emissions. E³Tec has developed patented processes for utilization of CO₂ and synthesis of ester-based plasticizers. The concept of Heat Integrated Reactive Distillation (HIRD) developed at Argonne is applied to conversion of CO₂ to alkyl carbonates, esterification of organic acids and thermally coupled columns for separation of close-boiling mixtures.
