Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Catalyst for moderate contaminant applications
Borotec® features BASF’s novel technology BBT (Boron Based Technology) and builds upon the success of BoroCat®. BBT uses the chemistry of boron to provide metals passivation for lower hydrogen and coke yields. BASF's Borotec combines high activity, accessible zeolite with BBT to provide metals passivation and high conversion. This leads to lower coke and gas, and higher amounts of valuable liquid products. The catalyst is designed for moderate resid feeds, containing higher levels of metals such as nickel. Borotec is an excellent fit for units that need flexibility to accommodate changing feed quality due to spot buying crudes or processing opportunity feedstocks. The metals passivating functionality of Borotec allows a wide range of feed processing capabilities to maximize profits with variable feed properties.
Borotec offers high performance for moderately contaminated feeds requiring maximum conversion
- Designed for mild resid or changing feeds
- Based on BBT with excellent metals passivation
- Maximum conversion and the freedom to switch feeds with changing economics
