Building on our core competencies in materials science and surface chemistry, BASF’s BoroCat offers excellent performance and flexibility for refiners requiring maximum conversion from a higher nickel resid feed.
BoroCat is the first catalyst offering from our novel technology platform BBT (Boron Based Technology). BBT uses the chemistry of boron to provide maximum metals passivation for significantly lower hydrogen and coke yields. BASF's BoroCat combines the novel use of boron with high zeolite content and optimized porosity. The porosity is tailored to provide reduced mass transfer limitation, leading to more effective zeolite utilization and less over cracking to coke and gas with severe resid feeds. The result is a catalyst for resid feed applications that has high tolerance to metals for the lowest hydrogen and coke yields. BoroCat gives high conversion, high gasoline and LCO (Light Cycle Oil) yields, and minimum bottoms yield.
