    Optimal solutions for processing unconventional feeds

    Today’s transportation fuel market is changing in response to new sources or feed stock, political incentives, stricter emission controls and popular support for more environmentally sound solutions. The changes are putting pressure on refineries to produce more fuels from alternative feedstocks – most of which are difficult to treat due to various impurities and large amounts of organic sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen compounds, aromatics, and fines.

    We provide a wide portfolio of solutions which can help you overcome these challenges related to hydroprocessing of unconventional feeds. Our holistic and innovative approach to designing units, covering all aspects of the design process, from catalysts to technology, is tailored to the specific application and designed to maximize profits, reliability, process safety, flexibility, and energy efficiency.
