Description
1. Product Overview
Nickel-Molybdenum Hydrodesulfurization Catalyst is a high-activity, alumina-supported catalyst engineered for the removal of sulfur, nitrogen, and metal contaminants from petroleum feedstocks. Its primary industrial use is in refinery hydrotreating units to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha that comply with global clean fuel regulations. The key value proposition lies in its superior hydrogenation activity, extended cycle life, and high tolerance to feedstock variability, delivering measurable reductions in unit downtime and catalyst replacement cost. As tightening sulfur mandates and carbon intensity standards reshape global refining economics, this catalyst is strategically critical for refiners seeking compliance, margin protection, and operational flexibility.

3. Core Industrial Applications
- Primary Industries: Petroleum refining, petrochemicals, gas-to-liquids, renewable diesel and HVO production
- Specific Operational Use Cases: ULSD hydrotreating, FCC feed pretreatment, kerosene/jet fuel desulfurization, heavy coker naphtha upgrading, base oil hydrofinishing, and co-processing of bio-feedstocks
- Performance Advantages vs. Alternatives: Delivers higher HDS/HDN activity at lower operating temperatures compared to conventional CoMo catalysts, enabling throughput increases or energy savings. Enhanced metal uptake capacity reduces guard bed requirements in heavy feed service
- Efficiency, Durability, Cost Advantages: Achieves <10 ppm sulfur with extended cycle lengths of 36–60 months. High attrition resistance minimizes pressure drop buildup. Lower hydrogen consumption and reduced start-of-run temperature preserve unit hardware and extend turnaround intervals
