Catalysts
The phosphorus trap is renewed
One of today’s hottest industry topics is renewable fuels.
Establish the maximum allowable pressure drop across the catalyst bed structure in a hydrocracker
The reaction section of a hydrocracker unit has three reactors configured in two stages.
Choosing an FCCU CO promoter is no longer driven by NOx emissions
Fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) form coke during the reaction that combusts in the regenerator and supplies heat for the process.
H2O2 and its hydrocarbon nitridation/oxidation to produce caprolactam and propene oxide
Traditional hydrocarbon nitridation and oxidation technologies, such as caprolactam (CPL) and propene oxide production technologies, present low atom utilization and serious environmental pollution problems.
