    Maximum middle distillate yield

    Higher refinery margins

    The hydrocracker is one of the most profitable units in your refinery, partly due to the volume swell, and partly because it converts heavy feedstocks into naphtha, jet fuel, diesel, and other high-value products. 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.

    Topsoe’s three maximum middle distillate hydrocracking catalyst series – the Red series for maximum hydrogenation, the Blue series for maximum cold-flow properties of diesel, and the D-sel™ series for maximum diesel yields – combine, with our BRIM® and HyBRIM™ pretreatment catalysts to deliver unmatched performance and flexibility. Add in high-performance Topsoe reactor internals, heavy poly-nuclear aromatic (HPNA) Trim™ technology, and other innovative process solutions for maximum middle distillate yields and higher refinery margins.

    Catalysts for maximum middle distillate yield

    TK-921 catalyst

    TK-921 catalyst

    An amorphous hydrocracking catalyst with high selectivity for middle distillates. It is specifically suitable for hydroprocessing of VGO streams to be used for lube oil base stock production.
    TK-925 catalyst

    TK-925 catalyst

    This catalyst is optimized for maximum production of middle distillate products with very low aromatic content and excellent properties. Ideal for mild hydrocracking applications.
    TK-926 catalyst

    TK-926 catalyst

    This is a catalyst with excellent selectivity to diesel. TK-926 is also ideal for mild hydrocracking applications, where high stability and excellent cold flow properties of the products are ...
    TK-931 catalyst

    TK-931 catalyst

    This catalyst is a low zeolitic NiW catalyst with high selectivity for middle distillates. It provides excellent middle distillate yield with low overcracking.
    TK-939 D-sel™ catalyst

    TK-939 D-sel™ catalyst

    This is a low zeolitic NiW catalyst with high selectivity for middle distillates. Designed for maximum diesel yields with low overcracking.
    TK-969 D-sel™ catalyst

    TK-969 D-sel™ catalyst

    This is a zeolitic NiW based hydrocracking catalyst with very high activity and a high nitrogen tolerance. It provides balanced naphtha and middle distillate yields and is one of our recommended ...
    TK-941 catalyst

    TK-941 catalysts

    TK-941 has a high selectivity to middle distillates. It can be used in applications where high cracking activity and high middle distillate yield are required, and where high light-ends yield is ...
    TK-943 catalyst

    TK-943 catalyst

    TK-943 is a medium- to high-activity hydrocracking catalyst developed for maximum cold flow properties of diesel.
    TK-971 catalyst

    TK-971 catalyst

    TK-971 is a zeolitic NiW-based hydrocracking catalyst with very high activity.
    TK-947 catalyst

    TK-947 catalyst

    TK-947 is recommended for applications where high cracking activity and high middle distillate yield are required. It is also an excellent choice for mild hydrocracking (MHC) applications.
    TK-951 catalyst

    TK-951 catalyst

    TK-951 is a high-activity hydrocracking catalyst, providing optimum diesel and naphtha yields, while minimizing overcracking.
    TK-961 catalyst

    TK-961 catalyst

    TK-961 is a zeolitic NiW based hydrocracking catalyst with very high activity and a very high nitrogen tolerance.
    TK-949 D-sel™ catalyst

    TK-949 D-sel™ catalyst

    TK-949 D-sel™ is a zeolitic NiW catalyst with high selectivity for middle distillates. It provides excellent middle distillate yield with low yield of light ends.
