Research based catalysts and technologies

Based on decades of fundamental research, Topsoe has developed a broad catalyst portfolio as well as innovative technologies and processes for hydrotreating.

A fundamental understanding of catalyst behaviour at the nano scale enables us to continuously develop new and improved products to meet the needs of our clients. One recent development was Topsoe's BRIM™ catalyst preparation technology, which has led to a whole new generation of unmatched activity hydrotreating catalysts with great stability. 

Single-point responsibility

Topsoe supplies integrated solutions including grading material, catalysts, process design and detailed reactor engineering. Our supply of catalysts and technology offers clients a single point of expertise and responsibility.

In the design of new hydrotreating units, Topsoe's research and test facilities offer clients testing opportunities  including detailed feedstock and process analyses, which form the basis of tailor-made solutions.

Market experience

Topsoe has extensive market experience with all aspects of hydrotreating ranging from naphtha to heavy residue. More than 100 hydrotreating units have been licensed using Topsoe hydrotreating technology of which a large number are designed for production of ultra-low sulphur diesel with less than 10 wt ppm sulphur.

Topsoe has more than 140 references in operation or projected for the production of Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel having less than 50 wt ppm sulphur, corresponding to 5 MMBPD. 100 of these references us catalysts produced with our BRIM™ technology.
