Naphtha Hydrotreating
Comprehensive treatment for gasoline blending and protection of reformer operations
Reliable performance across diverse naphtha feeds.
Our Naphtha Hydrotreating catalyst portfolio is engineered to process feeds from various sources—straight run, coker, FCC—while meeting stringent product requirements. These solutions handle high silica and nitrogen content common in challenging feeds, mitigate pressure drop issues, and maximize cycle length. Whether protecting reformer noble metal catalysts or preparing cracked naphtha for gasoline blending, our optimized catalyst systems ensure reliable operations and consistent product quality.
