Hydrocracking
Today, refineries have to produce more high-quality transportation fuels from heavier streams, while also improving profit margins. Our single-source supply of all the key elements of a hydrocracking unit comprising hydrocracker pretreatment, hydrocracking and grading catalysts, technology licensing including heavy poly-nuclear aromatic (HPNA) management solutions and high-performance reactor internals can help you maximize yields of the exact products you need – whether you process feeds, ranging from distillate to deasphalted oil (DAO), fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) slurry, and heavy coker gasoil – or shale oil, coal tar, Fischer Tropsch wax, and other unconventional feeds.
The result? Higher profits for your refinery.
Applications within this area
- Hydrocracking
Maximum middle distillate yield
The hydrocracker is one of the most profitable units in your refinery. Even unconverted oil from your hydrocracker can serve as a high-quality feedstock for lube oil plants, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units or steam crackers. - Hydrocracking
Flexible operation
A profound understanding of catalyst kinetics and hydrocracking processes enables Topsoe to provide hydrocracking units that meet any market need – meeting all the requirements. - Hydrocracking
Hydrocracker feed pretreatment
Proprietary BRIM® and HyBRIM™ technologies enable Topsoe’s hydrocracker feed pretreatment catalysts to deliver unmatched high activity for HDS and, in particular, HDN. - Hydrocracking
Mild hydrocracking
Our mild hydrocracking catalysts deliver excellent nitrogen tolerance, resulting in very stable hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity throughout the cycle.
