Ketjen Accessibility Index (KAI™)
Measure What Matters for Conversion
Proprietary metric quantifying catalyst accessibility and performance.
The Ketjen Accessibility Index (KAI™) is our proprietary analytical method that quantifies catalyst pore accessibility and molecular diffusion characteristics. This advanced metric goes beyond traditional surface area measurements to predict real-world cracking performance, particularly for large molecules in heavy feeds. KAI™ helps refiners select the optimal catalyst for their specific feedstock and objectives, enabling better bottoms cracking, improved conversion, and maximized yields of valuable products..
