FCC Post Treat Solutions

Deliver On‑Spec Gasoline with Maximum Octane Retention

Selective hydrotreating to meet sulfur and benzene targets — without sacrificing value.

Our FCC Post Treat catalyst portfolio is purpose‑built for selective gasoline hydrotreating (HDS), achieving ultra‑low sulfur and benzene control while preserving olefins for octane retention. Working in tandem with our FCC expertise, these solutions mitigate gum formation and color issues, stabilize the gasoline pool, and extend cycle length with optimized hydrogen use. From guard systems to advanced selective HDS formulations and tailored STAX™ bed designs, we help refiners meet tight fuel specifications with superior economics.

Product Highlights

Integrated Optimization

Coordinated FCC/PT tuning for maximum conversion value and on‑spec gasoline.

RT-235

Features an optimized support structure and improved metals distribution, resulting in higher hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity with reduced olefin saturation translating to greater octane retention.

Guard Bed Solutions

Multi-stage guard beds protecting the main catalyst beds from contaminants while extending overall cycle length.

Hydroprocessing Leadership

Advanced catalysts and process technologies engineered to strengthen refinery performance and fuel quality.

Hydroprocessing sits at the center of modern refining performance. Ketjen develops catalysts and process technologies that enable refiners to improve conversion, manage feedstock variability, and meet tightening fuel specifications while protecting margins. With over 50 years of hydroprocessing expertise, we help customers turn operational complexity into measurable performance gains.
