The patent pending technology is called HENCI, for High Efficiency Nano-Catalyst Immobilization,
but it can be utilized in several application modes:  Within the chemical reaction-, heat transfer-,
electrical work-, or mass transport/contacting-zone of an enclosed, flow-through continuous ‘packed-
bed’ reactor, heat exchanger, electrochemical reactor, or multi-phase continuous contactor column,
HENCI technology will homogeneously disperse and hold ‘fast-in-place’ (completely immobilize)
many nano- and micro-sized structures or particles, regardless of shape, size or morphology, at very
high flux and packing-density without significant pressure drop or nanoparticle-surface coverage,
affording HENCI an ideal synergy with the advent of nano- and micro-structure engineering, nano-
and micro-catalyzed chemical reactions, and environmental remediation processes.  HENCI
technology can immobilize enough nano (or micro) catalyst particles per unit reactor volume to fully
exploit the ultra-high surface area per unit mass characteristic of these highly effective (often
catalytic) structures, without the technical (and resulting financial) drawbacks associated with
membrane-, nanocage-, resin- or exotic-binder- based immobilization schemes, including but not
limited to high pressure drop per unit reactant matrix flux (fluid flowing through and around the
particles as immobilized), significant catalyst particle surface coverage (for embedded- or chem.-
adhered catalyst), additional wetted materials, and high costs(capital and operating) per unit reactor
volume.
