ZIP Olefins Additive

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst for heavy resid feedstock applications. BASF’s Fortress NXT delivers superior metals passivation and increases liquid product yields.

Premium Technology
Fortress NXT is the next generation of Fortress catalyst resulting from research to optimize the efficacy of specialty alumina for nickel trapping applications.

BASF uses a proprietary specialty alumina to provide superior nickel trap performance using an optimized crystallite size and dispersion for more effective nickel trapping.

This technology synthesizes Fortress NXT in one step, resulting in a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process when compared with Fortress catalyst. This is in line with BASF’s commitment to creating chemistry for a sustainable future.

Fortress NXT delivers enhanced activity maintenance and offers reduced hydrogen and coke yields at similar metals content.
