Hi everyone 
 
I've been doing a project about the Cativa process, but until now I can't seem to find one piece of information.  The reason behind naming this process "Cativa". Anyone knows?
 
Thank you for your time ;)

Calcas,

 

The Cativa process was developed by BP chemicals and they registered the promoted iridium catalyst used in the process as CativaTM . The  TM shown as superscript means Trade Mark.

 

Why choose the name Cativa, that only BP chemicals who developed the process can answer.

 

Regards,

Ankur.

Ok, I sent an e-mail to them and now I'm waiting for a reply, but I don't think that I'll get that. In fact is just a curiosity that I have and my team group.

 

Any way, thank Ankur

 

Best regards,

Gonçalo Calças
