Improved product yields and quality translate quickly into improved profit
margins. CLG's fixed bed
residuum hydrotreating technologies.
RDS, for atmospheric
residuum hydrotreating; and VRDS,
for vacuum residuum desulfurization lead
the pack in providing a short, economical process path to higher value products
from difficult feeds. Only CLG's hydrogen-efficient
RDS/VRDS technologies sufficiently
saturate products so that no further processing is necessary when using residuum
as the feed for high value light products. Less processing leads to better
profit margins now and in the future.
Using CLG's residuum hydroprocessing technology, refiners can produce high-quality products from almost any crude. |
Improve the profit from your RFCC by adding RDS
Residuum Fluid Catalytic Cracking is the most popular processing route for
the complete conversion of residual oils. Refiners without a pretreating system
in place must process atmospheric residuum from crudes low in metals, carbon
residue and sulfur to avoid operating problems.
Consequently, many refiners have chosen to pretreat their
RFCC feed in a
CLG
RDS/VRDS reactor. By doing so, they have more flexibility in choosing less
expensive feeds, achieve higher product yields and have fewer feed related
operating problems. CLG's
technology has been used successfully to improve
the efficiency of every type of RFCC
unit in operation today.

From heavy feeds to high value products takes just the right catalyst
Converting heavy feeds into high value light products is a challenge for
any processing scheme. What makes CLG's
fixed bed technology stand head and
shoulders above the rest is the sophistication and quality of its catalyst
grading system. The efficiency of every unit can be enhanced if a thorough
analysis of feed characteristics relative to operating kinetics and chemical
reaction is understood.
With our extensive commercial experience and pilot plant data, we can develop
catalyst systems that will meet the most demanding quality objectives while
processing very difficult feeds. As a result of the extraordinary quality of
these systems, operating cycles are usually extended while meeting target specifications
for demetalization, desulfurization, carbon residue reduction, denitrification
and increased cracking conversion.
