Wax hydrofinishing

Hydrotreatment catalysts that deliver premium wax quality

Waxes require a final hydrofinishing – or “polishing” – step to improve their physicochemical properties and achieve the color, oxidation, and thermal stability specified for the finished product.

Topsoe’s hydrotreatment catalysts effectively remove various color bodies to produce wax for a wide range of applications, including the food and medical industries.

Catalyst for lube oil processing

TK-560 BRIM® catalyst

TK-560 BRIM® is a high activity cobalt molybdenum (CoMo) catalyst with a low metal loading.

TK-562 BRIM® catalyst

TK-562 BRIM® is a high activity catalyst for FCC pretreatment with excellent HDS and HDN performance, aromatic saturation, and high stability on VGO feeds.

TK-569 HyBRIM™ catalyst

TK-569 HyBRIM™ is a next-generation catalyst with extremely high HDS and HDN activity, ideal for FCC pretreatment, hydrocracking, and hydrotreating of nitrogen-rich feedstock.

TK-907 catalyst

TK-907 is an alumina-based noble metal catalyst, specifically designed to make a low aromatic product from refinery feedstocks.

TK-594 HyBRIM™

TK-594 HyBRIM™ is an extremely high-activity trimetallic catalyst delivering excellent HDS and HDN performance, improved product density, and high volume swell.

Catalyst support

Our Catalyst Support is designed to support the combined weight of the catalyst, support material and oil. It can also withstand pressure drop over the catalyst bed during the entire catalyst ...

Inlet diffuser

Our Inlet Diffusers are designed to uniformly deliver gas and liquid to the distribution tray below, while keeping the liquid on the tray level.

Scale catcher

Our Scale Catching technology is a cost effective solution to delay pressure drop development and significantly increase unit utilization. Also reduces the amount of top grading material needed.

Outlet collector

Our Outlet Collector ensures even flow distribution in the bottom bed to maximize catalyst utilization and prevents bed migration to downstream piping and equipment.

Distributor tray

Our Vapor Lift Distributor Tray (VLT) ensures uniform distribution of liquid and gas over the entire cross section area of the catalyst bed.

Catalytic dewaxing

Catalytic dewaxing improves diesel cold flow properties with minimal yield loss, ideal for winter grade fuels, tight oils and renewable feeds.

Applications within this area

Lube oil processing

Hydrofinishing is the critical last step of processing required to produce lube base stocks.
