Comparative study of the performance of alumina-supported Ni-Mo, Ni-W and Ni-Mo-W catalysts in hydrotreating vacuum residue
- Kuwait Inst. for Scientific Research, Safat (Kuwait)
The performance of a NiMoW/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalyst for promoting various reactions during residual oil hydroprocessing is reported. Catalyst performance and properties are compared to that of conventional NiMo and NiW catalysts. Performance evaluation tests were conducted in a high pressure fixed bed reactor system using Kuwait vacuum residue as feed. Hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodemetalization, hydroconversion to distillates, asphaltene removal and CCR reduction reactions were monitored. The NiMoW catalyst was more active for various conversions than the NiMo and NiW catalysts. The addition of W to NiMo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} enhanced the hydrogenation function of the catalyst. 11 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
