Project Description

Special Catalyst For MGD Process fcc catalyst

Applicable Scope：

Specially formulated catalyst for MGD process.

Characteristics

RGD-1 has good bottom cracking ability and can limit further cracking of intermediate fractions, enhance secondary cracking of gasoline fraction, which increases yield of LCO and LPG. The hydrogen transfer reaction is enhanced appropriately with adjustment on density and intensity of zeolite active sites, reducing the olefin content in gasoline

Design Philosophy

In the preparation of RGD-1 catalyst, carrier has appropriate pore distribution, furthermore, macropore lager than 100Å and micropore smaller than 5Å increase with kaolinite improved. The macropore is low-acid which promotes the cracking of macromolecule hydrocarbon, inhibits the secondary cracking of intermediate fractions and reduce the coke. The micropore is high-acid which makes gasoline further crack into LPG. Introduction of metal component in active sites adjusts acid strength appropriately and increases the gasoline to LPG cracking level. Meanwhile, hydrogen transfer ability is improved in favor of decreasing olefin content in gasoline. Modified shape-selective zeolite is applied to improve the LPG yield and increase RON & MON.

Property

The main specifications of RGD-1 catalyst were shown in Table 1.

Table 1 Main Specifications of RGD-1

Commercial Reference

RGD-1 catalyst industrial application is conducted in FREP. The industrial application indicates that RGD-1 catalyst with MGD process shows good bottoms conversion ability, high-value products selectivity and remarkable effect of reducing olefin in gasoline as the catalytic feedstock is in a trend of turning worse.
