BASF announced the commercial launch of Boroflex, the latest evolution of its residuum oil fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts for the refining market. Boroflex is based on the Boron-based technology (BBT), and is designed to optimise refiners’ bottoms upgrading and distillate yields by providing maximum nickel contamination passivation.
Boroflex commercial trials have confirmed its ability to deliver better bottoms upgrading and high distillate yields that increase refiners’ profitability to meet the market demand for refined products. It is proven to deliver other BBT-related benefits, such as nickel passivation, and lower coke and hydrogen.
