Axens hydrocracking

Axens is an established name in hydrocracking licensing with more than 40 years’ experience in all types of hydrocracking processes. We have a large portfolio of hydroconversion processes, including fixed and ebullated-bed technologies. Our commercial units operate at low, medium and high conversion, and in once through, single-stage recycle and two-stage modes.

Our commercial hydrocracker designs can cover a large variety of feedstocks varying from light HGO and LVGO feeds to the most difficult feeds, such as highly resinous and organic-nitrogencontaining VGO, processed VGO or DAO.

Our new-generation commercial hydrocracking catalysts treat a wide range of feeds to produce a diverse slate of products that respond to specific quality targets. For high conversion hydrocracking applications, the combination of HRK, HDK and HYK series is definitely the best solution to squeeze more middle distillates from heavy ends while reaching high conversion levels.
