Description
1. Product Overview
Pt/Alumina Hydrorefining Catalyst is a high-performance noble metal catalyst engineered for hydrotreating and hydrodesulfurization in petroleum refining and petrochemical processes. Its primary industrial use is the removal of sulfur, nitrogen, and other contaminants from hydrocarbon streams to produce ultra-low sulfur fuels and high-purity chemical feedstocks. The key value proposition lies in its exceptional activity, selectivity, and regeneration stability, delivering longer cycle lengths and reduced hydrogen consumption. It is strategically important in the market as refiners face tightening fuel specifications, decarbonization mandates, and pressure to maximize yield from heavier crude slates.

3. Core Industrial Applications
- Primary Industries: Petroleum Refining, Petrochemicals, Gas Processing, Renewable Diesel & SAF Production
- Specific Operational Use Cases:
- Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and Gasoline hydrotreating units
- Naphtha hydrorefining for catalytic reformer feed pretreatment
- Kerosene/Jet fuel hydrodesulfurization and dearomatization
- Base oil and lubricant hydrofinishing
- Hydrotreating of pyrolysis gasoline and FCC streams
- Performance Advantages: Achieves deeper desulfurization at lower operating temperatures versus conventional CoMo/NiMo catalysts, minimizing cracking and preserving valuable liquid yield. Superior resistance to coking and metals poisoning extends run lengths.
- Efficiency & Cost Advantages: Reduced hydrogen consumption by 8-12% and cycle lengths exceeding 36 months lower total cost of ownership. High thermal and hydrothermal stability enables multiple regenerations with <5% activity loss per cycle.
4. Competitive Advantages
