Hydrotreating unit catalyst

Hydrotreating Unit Catalyst

Product Type
A catalyst for removing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds from petroleum fractions. It is used in refineries to produce ultra-low-sulfur motor fuels from middle distillates. This catalyst enables the reduction of sulfur content in fuels to extremely low concentrations (less than 10 ppm).

The product is available in tri-lobe extrudates with a diameter of 2 to 3 mm, as well as in quad-lobe shapes. It contains active components of cobalt-molybdenum or nickel-molybdenum.

Advantages

• High hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation capacity at the level of top global standards
• High concentration of active components (up to 23 wt.% molybdenum trioxide)
• Reusability after regeneration
• High mechanical strength

Applications
The hydrotreating catalyst is used as a fixed bed and is equipped with PC-series protective layers. This catalyst can be regenerated 1 to 2 times during its service life.

Engineering Services
The Artin Azma Mehr process engineering team supports refinery and petrochemical engineering teams in the following areas:
