Conventional fuels

Conventional fuels like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel continue to play a crucial role in our energy systems. By fueling a large part of the transportation sector, these fuel types quite literally keep the world moving. In the global ambition to diversify energy systems, conventional fuels remain essential, helping us stay resilient and meet growing energy demands.

Optimized catalysts and production processes are key to the production of conventional fuels. These fuels are produced from fossil feedstocks, such as oil and natural gas, and responsibly managing these resources to extract maximum value from them is central.

Hydroprocessing sits at the cornerstone of modern refining, enabling the production of cleaner, high-quality fuels while maximizing value of the crude oil feedstocks. With our hydrotreating and hydrocracking processes, we offer our customers the flexibility to adapt to evolving market demands and support the transition to cleaner energy solutions.

With their critical impact on process efficiency and selectivity, catalysts are key in refining processes. To get the best possible performance from your hydrotreating and hydrocracking units, it is essential to use catalysts tailored to your specific operating conditions. High catalyst activity is essential for processing heavier feedstocks, extending cycle lengths or reducing temperatures to help save energy and lower CO₂ footprint.

We at Topsoe are on a constant quest to perfecting catalyst chemistry. This has resulted in the introduction of various market-leading catalyst series.

Building on the legendary BRIM™ series of catalysts, HyBRIM™ represents an improved production technique for both NiMo and CoMo hydrotreating catalysts. They are state-of-the-art technologies and are successfully applied in the production processes of conventional fuels across the world.

Reactor internals will help you create the optimal operating conditions for the catalytic reactions in your hydroprocessing units. They ensure a uniform feed distribution to improve unit efficiency, operational safety and extend your cycle length. This way, our fully custom-made reactor internals optimize the economic performance of your unit.

With more than 30 years of development experience and more than 1500 reactor internals installed worldwide, we are trusted suppliers of F.A.S.T. (Functional, Accessibility, Safety, Time) reactor internals.
