Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst and additive offerings together with our expert technical services build the right solution to create value within any unit’s constraints.
Over a 3-day program, BASF, together with a recognized group of industry experts, covered a broad selection of topics. We had a look at new technologies and deep dive into successful case studies, as well as presentations dedicated to catalyst deactivation and testing.

EnviroSOx, BASF’s latest Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) additive, shows superior performance by routinely delivering less than 25 ppm SOx even at high feed sulfur levels.
Applying BASF’s EnviroSOx additive, the PKN ORLEN Płock refinery was able to maintain FCC flue gas SOx emissions below 800 mg/Nm3 (@ 3 vol% O2) during a planned hydrocracker turnaround, enabling the FCC to process non-hydrotreated feed without sacrificing throughput.
BASF’s newest additive, Evolve, maximizes butylenes selectivity and production in the FCCU for refineries who value butylenes.
BASF’s EZ Flow works to improve fluidization characteristics of the FCC catalyst providing improved catalyst circulation
BASF’s joint publication with CEPSA on FCC catalyst deactivation studies makes clear that lowering the metal content, using a cracking deactivation method or moving to a steam-only deactivation campaign are the best options for FCC catalyst selection.
