AFX™ catalysts for increased propylene production from FCC units
New technology to meet propylene demand Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the growing worldwide demand for propylene. To help refiners meet this demand better, Ketjen has introduced the innovative AFX catalyst technology and catalyst family, which are designed specifically for operation at high-propylene yield. Before AFX, propylene production from an FCC unit with a traditional catalyst was limited. ZSM-5 based additives ...

Naphtha to Ethane / Propane (NEP)
The olefins industry is facing challenges with increasing competitiveness, in terms of cost of production, amidst a growing concern about feedstock security in many parts of the world. While ethane crackers remain the lowest cost to build and operate, many liquid crackers have already been built around the globe. These installations have sought to capture local price discounts for light naphtha and their operation is mainly due to feedstock security. Ethane is not prevalent in ...
