ACTION® FCC catalysts

Raising the octane value of FCC gasoline with minimal loss of volume. Taking advantage of new zeolite technology. The chances are that raising the octane level of the gasoline produced in your FCC unit is high on your agenda. Octane has become a key issue for many refiners with the advent of more-efficient car engines; the almost worldwide ban on the use of lead as a gasoline additive; and continuing pressure on octane blending components. The problem is compounded by the drive ...

Crystaphase, there is no magic behind reactor performance

It’s not magic. It’s science. Hydroprocessors know the wall that lies between them and peak reactor performance. Fouling, pressure drop, precipitation, agglomeration, polymerization, and catalyst deactivation, these obstacles build up, block by block. We help you break through that wall, clearing your path to performance. With highly specialized expertise and unique, industry-proven solutions, Crystaphase has helped refiners all over the world achieve unprecedented ...

Customized grading solutions for your feedstock

Match your catalyst grading to your feedstock for minimum pressure drop build-up and maximum demetallization. As today’s opportunity crudes and heavier feedstocks become more economically viable, the oil fractions you refine are posing new challenges. Creating the optimal grading solution for your individual feedstock is essential to minimize pressure drop build-up, increase metals pick-up, and reduce downtime and catalyst replacement. An overlooked advantage The importance ...

Driving Catalyst Performance

Innovation in design: We design our own catalyst carrier utilising our strength of 40 years’ experience in the Ceramics industry. Catalysts are formed using polymer ceramic technology rather than the traditional pressure method, which provides higher intrinsic strength, greater geometric surface area and surface texture. Textured Surface Technology: Texture on the Magcat spherical shape creates a 30% improvement in active surface area, increasing the effective reaction zone ...

Driving Reformer innovation

UNICAT Catalyst Technologies LLC are a global manufacturer and supplier of DRI Catalysts. An established supplier of DRI catalysts with over 10 years of reformer references from our 1st generation MYD spherical catalyst. Building upon 40 years of ceramic manufacturing experience our 2nd generation DRI Catalyst (Magcat®) was developed, which dramatically improves gas flow by +% without the need to add any further tubes. That means ZERO CAPEX required to achieve +35% more reformed ...

DURANIT® Maximum compression strength for maximum operational safety

When using catalyst supports, a high degree of operational safety through stability and homogeneity of the support material is an important factor for the customer. The specially developed manufacturing process from VFF means that the compression strength of the Duranit® X500 inert balls is significantly higher than that of comparable products. The mean compression strength of the 1“ balls is well above 1000 kg, guaranteeing VFF customers an unsurpassed level of operational ...
