Domestic microspheric cracking catalysts: development, production and industrial operation

Abstract

A complex for the production of microspheric cracking catalysts was launched at Ishimbay Specialized Chemical Plant of Catalysts in 2008. In 2012, the company won a major tender for the supply of a catalyst «Oktifayn» to unit G-43-107 of the Ufa Oil Refinery. The paper analyzes results of the pilot operation of the catalyst at this unit. The high efficiency of the catalyst and the benefits of its wider use are shown.
