Project Description
DOS Series Catalyst FCC catalyst
Applicable Scope
DOS catalyst is a kind of gasoline sulfur.reducing catalyst ZDOS catalyst is a kind of bottom cracking catalyst. Either of them is suitable for resid cracking, and gasoline yield boosting.
Characteristics
DOS catalysts have good bottom cracking capability and excellent resistance to metal contamination. They can enhance gasoline yield, and reduce gasoline olein and sulfur content.
Design Philosophy
By investigation on the sulfur reduction mechanism, an efficient “Lewis acid-base pairs” compound was found. It is of stable structure, can reduce the sulfur content of FCC gasoline without affecting the hydrogen transfer activity and cracking activity of the catalyst while processing a FCC feedstock with high heavy metals content. Meanwhile, new generation modified Y zeolite (DOSY) was developed. DOSY zeolite shows super hydrothermal stability. DOSY zeolite can enhance active site accessibility and trap vanadium particularly.
Property
The main specifications of DOS catalyst are shown in Table 1.

Commercial Reference
DOS catalyst commercial application test was carried out at SINOPEC Cangzhou Petrochemical in 2005. The main test results are listed in Table 2~Table 4. The results show that DOS catalyst could reduce slurry and coke yield, meanwhile, increase the total yields of LPG and gasoline and diesel. DOS catalyst could also reduce gasoline sulfur content and olefin content.
