Hydrocracking

Hydrocracking catalysts: adopt new technology with confidence

Catalyst selection is key to your overall process performance, but it’s more than just a matter of matching selectivity and activity requirements. UOP’s multi-dimensional catalyst portfolio not only considers these aspects of catalyst performance, but also:

• Optimized Hydrogenation – The amount and location where hydrogen is added to products, in addition to that required for feed conversion, to maximize value
• Molecular Transformation – Moving beyond just cracking to molecular rearrangement
• Cracking Symmetry – Adjusting the selectivity within a given product boiling range

UOP offers a comprehensive portfolio of hydrocracking catalysts for diesel, jet and naphtha production in the full range of process configurations. We have world-class technical experts and best-of-class Guard Bed and Pretreating catalysts that can help you optimize your reactor loading. We can also help maximize efficiency and profitability at your operation through:

• Increased yields of high-value products
• Longer operating cycles
• Higher quality products
• Optimized hydrogen consumption
• Increased throughput
• Higher conversion levels
• Ability to process higher endpoint feedstocks

As a proven catalyst innovator and manufacturer, we partner closely with you to effectively integrate new products and help you deliver value. Since 2003, UOP has commercialized nine new hydrocracking catalysts and they’re receiving rapid acceptance.

• HC-140LT – Engineered to flexible naphtha and distillate production
• HC-205LT – Designed specifically for the Second Stage environment to maximize diesel yield
• HC-120LT – Maximum total distillate production with improved cold flow properties
• HC-185LT – High-activity catalyst with application for both naphtha and flexible diesel production
