Description:
There is increasing pressure on refineries worldwide to improve profitability at a time when expenditures for environmental projects and reformulated fuels are increasing dramatically. The heavy-to-light crude price differential provides a strong incentive to process heavier crudes to increase profitability. Chevron's Onstream Catalyst Replacement (OCR) technology significantly increases the flexibility of residue hydrotreaters (RDS) to process heavier, higher metal feedstocks by providing an efficient way to remove the feed metals onto an OCR catalyst while continuing to operate. OCR technology can be incorporated into new RDS units and retrofitted into existing RDS units. The first commercial application is an OCR retrofit of a 50 MBPOD Chevron licensed RDS unit that will start up in May 1992 at the Aichi Refinery of Idemitsu Kosan Company, Ltd.
