New HyBRIM catalyst boosts profitability of diesel and hydrocracking units

摘要

Refiners can look forward to longer cycle lengths, high-value products from low quality feed stocks, and increased volume swell with the latest HyBRIM nickel molybdenum catalyst with 25% improved activity for both nitrogen and sulfur removal. The exceptionally high activity of Haldor Topsoe's new TK-611 HyBRIM catalyst offers new possibilities to either increase profitability of high-pressure ultra-low sulfur diesel production from heavy feed stocks or to guarantee a superior pre-treatment for the hydrocracking unit. Refiners can process more severe feeds, increase cycle lengths by several months, achieve larger volume swells, or maximize unit throughput. HyBRIM also supports profitability by substantially improving the cetane number of the final product.
