Hydrotreating catalysts: an alliance to offer you more
UOP and Albemarle formed the Hydroprocessing Alliance in 2006 to support the production of clean transportation fuels worldwide. UOP is a leading developer of hydrocracking catalysts, and hydrotreating and hydrocracking process technology. Albemarle is a leading developer and supplier of innovative hydrotreating catalysts and technologies for refineries. This alliance combines their strengths to provide the refining industry with a broad portfolio of process and catalyst offerings for: Middle distillate hydrotreating; Vacuum gas oil hydrotreating; Mild hydrocracking; Hydrocracking; Fixed-bed residue hydrotreating; Crystaphase Products
UOP had partnered with Crystaphase Products to offer CatTrap technology, designed to provide the largest possible trapping volume for particulate contaminants in any feedstock, while providing superior flow distribution. The technology has lengthened the reactor run life when unacceptable pressure drop has limited the cycle length of previous runs. CatTrap systems typically require less space than traditional grading systems and provide the additional benefit of no pressure drop over the reactor cycle length.
CatTrap is an alumina silica composition circular disk with a very high effective internal porosity for large particulates removal. The different products have varying pores per linear inch to allow gradual stacking of different sizes for improved flow distribution.
CatTrap material has been used in more than 1,000 applications and more than 200 refineries, and the list is growing. UOP’s experience in specifying CatTrap material for commercial units has increased the efficiency of reactor volume use, and has helped maximize cost savings and performance.
UOP will work closely with your team to identify the best available technologies suited to your business goals.
