UOP to Offer Catalyst for Diesel     

UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, announces that it will offer the Albemarle NEBULA hydrotreating catalyst for the production of high-quality, ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) as part of the Hydroprocessing Alliance, UOP's strategic alliance with Albemarle Corp.
    The NEBULA catalyst is a base-metal catalyst with higher activity than conventional hydrotreating catalysts. In addition to supporting production of ULSD without additional capital investment, NEBULA can enhance hydrotreating unit revamps to reach higher throughputs or achieve higher product quality standards. Additionally, NEBULA's high hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodearomatization activities can debottleneck hydrocrackers that have limited hydrotreating activity.
