"The China
Petroleum & Chemical Corporation is one of the top emerging companies not
only in China but in the world and its decision to adopt the Symyx Zeolite
Synthesis Workflow provides great validation to our high-throughput
experimentation technology," said Isy Goldwasser, CEO of Symyx Technologies. "We
look forward to further expanding our presence within China."
The Zeolite
Synthesis Workflow utilises Symyx-pioneered microscale, high-throughput
technology for accelerating the pace of breakthrough R&D discoveries. Symyx
workflows transform traditional bench science into automated parallel
experimentation workflows - increasing experimental capacity and velocity by
10-100 fold. The Zeolite Synthesis Workflow has been implemented by other
companies within the oil and gas industry and has been used internally by Symyx
for many years as part of Symyx's research capabilities.
Sinopec Corp. is
the first Chinese company that has been listed in Hong Kong, New York, London
and Shanghai. The Company is an integrated energy and chemical company with
upstream, midstream and downstream operations. The principal operations of
Sinopec Corp. and its subsidiaries include exploring, developing, producing and
