This article details the advancements in the authors’ company’s plus catalyst series of syngas catalysts that improve efficiency, sustainability and profitability in ammonia, methanol and hydrogen production.
To address various challenges, the authors’ company has developed a selective dewaxing catalyst suitable for fossil feeds, co-processing and 100% renewable services. This article details this novel technology.
Based on the generation and conversion mechanism of butylenes during the FCC process, this article details the design, development and commercial trials of the latest high-butylenes selectivity catalysts (HBC) series catalysts boosting butylenes without compromising gasoline yield. Its potential to increase butylenes has been confirmed through laboratory evaluation and commercial trial results.
This article will discuss the critical parameters that could potentially affect the performance of a residue fluid catalytic cracking plant’s main fractionator and gas concentration (gascon) section columns. It will also elaborate on how the systematic troubleshooting methodology helped to solve the problems and improve column performance.
This article analyzes the causes of a 19-mm protrusion of the tube sheet and the tube joint leaks that occurred within a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) waste heat boiler (WHB).
