INTERCAT FCC additives and catalyst handling technologies

Most refiners now find it essential to use catalytic additives to supplement the host FCC catalyst in order to achieve the desired unit performance, product quality, and environmental emissions targets that must be met. Johnson Matthey is the foremost supplier of FCC additives and addition systems, specializing in the development, manufacture, sale, and technical support of both additives and addition systems for the refining industry. Our INTERCATTM range of FCC additives and addition systems allow refiners to make the most of the synergies that exist in the FCC unit so that they may continually optimize yields and minimize emissions. Our additives afford refiners the ability to tailor the selectivity of the FCC, boost LPG yield at the expense of LCO and HCO, decrease bottom yields, and reduce regenerator SOx, NOx and CO emissions.

INTERCAT additives can be broken down into two groups, Performance and Environmental Additives. Performance Additives include propylene, butylene and octane improvement FCC additives while Environmental Additives include SOx and NOx reduction, gasoline sulphur reduction and CO promotion additives.

Delivering world class hydrogen plant performance

The world that we live in today is constantly changing; 50 years from now it will be unrecognisable. We live during a period of significant population growth, with increasing urbanisation and increasing wealth. The population is not only increasing, it is also getting older, and it demands better health ...
PURASPEC CLEAR Chloride guards

Chlorides in a refinery. Where does it come from? Chlorides are introduced into the refinery flowsheet in several ways. Some crude sources can bring both inorganic and organic chloride content. Desalter processes and chemical additives are used to remove chlorides and prevent corrosion and fouling caused ...

Green methanol

‘Green’ methanol means many things to different people. It encompasses low carbon emissions methanol manufacture at scale, recovery of material through waste gasification and conversion to methanol and power to liquid (e-fuel) methanol via electrochemistry and sometimes a combination of all of the ...
Transition to net zero: steps to decarbonize the oil refining industry

A review of the solutions being employed by oil refineries to reduce their Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Despite improvements in vehicle fuel economy, increasing adoption of hybrids, and EVs, petroleum- based fuel demand continues to grow, at least in the short- to mid-term! In general, ...
LCH Process for the production of blue hydrogen

There is an urgent need to limit the rise in global temperatures to avoid severe environmental and societal impact. Many countries across the world have committed to zero emission targets being met by 2050, this timeframe is now only one typical syngas plant lifetime away. The provision of decarbonised ...
Latest catalyst provides more methanol for longer

Johnson Matthey's latest methanol synthesis catalyst, KATALCOTM 51-102, was introduced in 2018 to offer improved catalyst stability and therefore higher end-of-life activity and extended lifetimes than conventional methanol synthesis catalysts. Since launch, KATALCO 51-102 has been successfully installed ...
