Nowadays, VGO (Vacuum Gasoil Hydrotreating) HDT operators are not only focused on maximizing HDS performance, they are also looking for a boost in nitrogen removal and aromatics saturation. Depending on the Unit Pressure and targeted achievement, Axens offers a complete portfolio of Catalysts.
Axens total hydrogenation catalysts are recommended for the hydrogenation of hydrocarbon cuts to lower the aromatic content or to saturate olefins and diolefins. They offer high resistance to poisons when the feed contains a few ppm of sulfur or of other contaminants.
To further increase recovery yields, tail gas leaving the Claus section can be treated using different processes. Axens offers dedicated products for sub-dewpoint applications or hydrogenation processes where sulfur species are reduced back to H₂S and recycled to the Claus section inlet.
High-performance selective hydrogenation catalysts dedicated to the petrochemical and refining industries, to purify highly valuable olefinic and aromatic streams produced by steam crackers and FCC units.
RDS units include a number of reactors in series, each with a dedicated function. These units require a tailored catalyst system characterized by three reaction zones where the types and quantities of each catalyst are determined as a function of the feedstock difficulty and the objectives of the unit.
Although Catalytic Reforming technologies have advanced considerably over the last few decades, even the smallest improvements in catalyst selectivity, activity and stability have significant impact on refinery economics.
Oligomerization technologies achieve high conversions of light olefinic fractions into higher value gasoline and middle distillates in association with dedicated catalysts specially developed for these applications.
Axens’ portfolio has a complete, high performance range of hydrotreating catalysts allowing for increasingly more difficult feedstock to be processed without cycle penalty.
