Refiners are facing the challenge to process more and more difficult feeds, with higher cracked stock fractions and low-cost feedstocks from opportunity crude such as tight oil or condensates. As refineries in almost all regions of the world progressively comply to Euro V norms, diesel hydrotreaters need to be operated under more severe conditions, requiring advanced
catalysts systems to address refiners needs and constraints (cetane gain, volume swell, color or cold flow properties improvement) but also advanced design features.
