AM-93-60 COGELS - A UNIQUE FAMILY OF ISOCRACKING CATALYSTS

Description:

The Chevron ISOCRACKING Process has been developed to efficiently convert heavy feedstocks into good quality middle distillates and lube oil basestocks. This has been demonstrated in many commercial plants which have employed a family of unique cogel ISOCRACKING catalysts. The ISOCRACKING technology has been tailored to meet specific customer needs and has been integrated in many complex refining schemes. This paper summarizes this experience and illustrates some of the benefits which these catalysts offer over competitive hydrocracking processes.e .g., lower capital investment, higher desiredp roduct yields, better cold flow properties and better control of polynuclear aromatic formation.
