Tailored Hydrocracking Catalysts for Demetallized Oil Service

摘要

Conventional hydrocracking is a well-known process designed to convert crude oil fractions boiling in the vacuum gas oil (VGO) range into transportation fuels such as diesel, jet fuel and naphtha, depending on the operator's objectives. While hydrocrackers have an excellent track record processing VGOs and lighter feedstocks, feedstocks heavier than VGO pose significant challenges resulting in diminished unit performance and processing efficiency.
