BASF SE has launched the next generation of its industry-leading Fortress fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst for heavy residuum (resid) oil feedstock applications for the refining market. Fortress NXT has been enhanced to deliver superior metals passivation and activity maintenance while keeping hydrogen and coke production low. For refineries, this creates the opportunity for profit maximization.
Refineries that used Fortress NXT in their FCC units achieved optimal results with lower coke and gas, the company said. Refineries also sustained liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and gasoline outputs and bottoms upgrading while exploring new feedstocks with higher resid content.
It builds on the BASF Fortress FCC catalyst technology that has been established in the refinery markets for many years and has been successfully used in FCC units all over the world.
Fortress NXT resumes the path of continuous innovation of BASF’s refinery catalysts portfolio and builds on successful product introductions.
“The introduction of Fortress NXT adds an innovative new product to BASF’s advanced refinery catalysts portfolio. Customers that already used Fortress NXT during plant trials have seen clear gas and coke reduction and the ability to increase the residue content of their feeds by up to 7 percent. This shows Fortress NXT’s capability to help refiners optimize their operations and maximize profits,” said Detlef Ruff, senior vice president, process catalysts at BASF.
