Grace Davisons NEKTORM catalyst wins downstream technology of the year award

Grace Davison, an operating segment of W. R. Grace & Co. has won the Downstream Technology of the Year Award at the Middle East Downstream Week 2011 Conference. The distinction recognized the impact of the NEKTORTM fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst in helping refiners meet worldwide demand for diesel fuel and comply with regulations for lower sulfur fuels. NEKTORTM catalyst cracks the very bottom of the oil barrel and converts the oil into diesel and other transportation fuels.

Shawn A. Abrams, Vice President and General Manager, Grace Davison Refining Technologies, commented, “We are pleased to accept this award, which recognizes Grace’s long-term commitment to the research and development of innovative products that meet the continuing challenges of the global petroleum refining industry.”

“The NEKTORTM catalyst allows refiners to process additional feed or heavier feed in their FCC unit through the use of a highly functionalised matrix and a hydrothermally stable and metals-tolerant zeolite. NEKTORTM catalyst can also allow refiners to upgrade more of their feedstock to valuable transportation fuels,” said André Lanning, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Grace Davison Refining Technologies.
