Topsoe hydrocracking

Refineries are under pressure to produce higher quality transportation fuels from heavier streams and increase profit margins at the same time.

Experience shows that refineries that optimize their hydrocracking units can capture significant value. Topsoe can help maximize your return on your planned investment. We tailor solutions to individual plants, taking into consideration capital and operating costs, strategies for optimizing conversion levels, safety and reliability. No matter what your challenges, we can help you to maximize yields of the products you need to increase profitability.

If, for example, your unit requires high conversion levels, Topsoe licenses both single-stage and two-stage hydrocracking process solutions customized to your specific feed properties, process objectives and unit capacity.

Topsoe assists you throughout your hydrocracker project - from initial concepts and feasibility studies to design, construction, plant commissioning and operations. In the early project phase, we’ll also guide you on catalyst and process selections, with a view to maximizing overall project feasibility.

After the basic engineering phase, we participate in safety hazard review meetings, review critical documentation from the EPC contractor, and participate in inspections of critical equipment and plant elements to ensure that the units meet specifications and process requirements. This is your guarantee for a safe and smooth start-up without costly delays.

After start-up we support our licensees with ongoing optimization of the hydrocracking unit to continuously improve your hydrocracker margins.

Catalysts can accelerate chemical reactions, control selectivity, and reduce energy requirements. Their ability to optimize process efficiency and product quality make them indispensable in industrial processes.
