Restructuring, advanced technology mark catalyst activities
This paper discusses latest survey of refining process catalysts. Catalysts developers focussed heavily on special zeolites and matrix designs that boost gasoline octane, improve production of products from fluid catalytic crackers, and provide greater feed flexibility. Emphasis has shifted from increasing the research octane number (RON) of FCC (fluid catalytic cracking) gasoline to increasing the motor octane number (MON) to boost clear gasoline pool octane. More than 100 new catalysts are added in the market. The developments made during the last year confirm that the catalyst industry continues to strive to produce catalysts that encompass the latest technology. These developments give the refiners a long list of effective choices to meet all of their product quality and quantity needs. Several of these catalysts are discussed in this paper in detail.
