  • Per Zeuthen, Haldor Topsoe, pz@topsoe.com

    In the past, some bulk hydroprocessing catalysts were well known for their high activities. However, the bulk catalysts are very expensive — and they are known for being non-regenerable.

    Haldor Topsoe has recently developed a supported catalyst with very high activity which outperforms the unsupported catalysts. This new catalyst, TK-6001 HySwell, has an improved performance stability and is equally or even more active and regenerable than unsupported catalysts.

    In other words, there are really no benefits of using bulk metal catalysts in hydrotreating.
