Application of paraffin oil hydrocracking catalysts
Thread Content
Can a paraffin oil hydrocracking catalyst be regenerated and reused in a hydroprocessing unit after being used for two cycles? Does any member have experience in this area? Please offer some guidance! Thanks first!
In our company’s hydroprocessing unit, some of the reaction catalysts currently in use are regenerated wax oil hydrocracking catalysts; these have been in operation for 8 months now, and so far the unit is functioning properly! It’s a shame to throw away the hydrocracking catalyst after using it for two cycles indeed! I think it should be possible to use some of it in hydrofining or reforming units after regeneration. It can save the company a lot of money!
Thanks for the answer from above! Those of you who have experience in this area, please share it so we can learn from each other?
