(1) The commerically proven RCD-8 catalyst offers superior metal removal and a twofold improvement in metal tolerance. For existing reduced-crude desulfurization units, this catalyst will allow processing feedstocks containing much higher metals level without sacrificing run length. Utilization of RCD-8 for new unit designs will significantly reduce investments for reactors and catalysts. RCD-8 has also proven to be an excellent catalyst for the desulfurization of heavy vacuum bottoms. Sulfur removal is accompanied by significant reduction in asphaltenes, non-distillables, and Conradson carbon. Thus, RCD-8 represents a substantial improvement over other hydroprocessing catalysts used in preparing feed for FCC, coking, hydrocracking or solvent-extraction units, in addition to producing low-sulfur fuel oil. 1 ref.
