Catalysts
  1. Very Expensive
    1. BUT they never get used up, you can use them again and again.
    2. Speed up reactions
      1. Saves money as you don't need to run it for that long.
      2. Different reactions use different catalysts.
        1. So if you make more than one product at a time, you'll need mutiple catalysts.
        2. Allows the reaction to work at much lower temperatures
          1. Reduces enery used so saves you a lot of money.
          2. Catalysts can be POISONED by impurities so they STOP working
            1. Keep your reaction very CLEAN
