"The
Report Refinery Catalysts: Market Strategies, Analysis, and
Opportunities provides information on pricing, market analysis,
shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants.

The study addresses
hydroprocessing catalysts and FCC catalysts. Hydroprocessing
catalysts are used to create cleaner fuels--especially ULSD. Demand
for cleaner fuels is driving the market. Refining catalysts are
experiencing strong growth. New fuel standards are coupled with
refineries increasing use of heavier and dirtier feedstocks and major
additions to refining capacity.
The refinery catalyst market is
thus boosted by the fact that the efficient use of catalysts can help
the manufacturers' better address the increasing energy demand. Fluid
catalytic cracking (FCC) is the conversion process used in petroleum
refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-boiling,
high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils
to more valuable gasoline, olefinic gases and other products.
Cracking of petroleum
hydrocarbons is done by catalytic cracking because it produces more
gasoline with a higher-octane rating. Byproduct gases are more
olefinic. These are more valuable than those produced by thermal
cracking.

The feedstock to an FCC is that
portion of the crude oil that has an initial boiling point of 340 °C
or higher at atmospheric pressure. The average molecular weight
ranges from about 200 to 600 or higher. This portion of crude oil is
often referred to as heavy gas oil. The FCC process vaporizes and
breaks the long-chain molecules of the high-boiling hydrocarbon
liquids into much shorter molecules by contacting the feedstock, at
high temperature and moderate pressure, with a fluidized powdered
catalyst.
Hydroprocessing faces
significant challenges as crude feeds get heavier; there will be more
sulphur and nitrogen to extract; more aromatics to saturate; more
metals to remove; and more coke to deal with. Refiners have ageing
facilities, which may not be designed and optimized to meet new
challenges. As more capital investment is needed, costs for refining
fossil fuels will rise, stimulating markets for renewable energy,
making them more competitive with fossil fuels.
The cost of hydrocracking
catalysts varies because of composition differences. The catalysts
can be alumina with base metals or contain added crystalline
zeolites. High quality ultra-stable type Y molecular sieve zeolites
are used in this service. Nickel-moly or nickel-tungsten are the
active metals frequently used.

FCC additives are used with
catalysts to meet specific unit objectives. Higher gasoline octane,
lower gasoline sulfur, lower sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides
emissions, lower carbon monoxide levels, improve fluidization, make
more propylene and/or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and improve
bottoms cracking are FCC objectives.
“Fluid Catalytic Cracking
(FCC) petroleum refining products overcome limiting factors affecting
refinery capacity and operating flexibility to deliver value and
performance. Catalysts are a crucial component in the processing of
highly valued petrochemicals, gasoline, diesel and other fuels.”
The market for refinery
catalysts in the oil refining sector at $4,967 million in 2016 is
expected to be worth $6,490 million by 2023, growing at 3.8% on
average between 2017 and 2023. There are 500 FCC units being operated
globally, each of which requires a constant supply of FCC catalysts.
There are 3,000 HPC units being operated globally, or a capacity of
approximately 44 million barrels per day, each of which typically
requires replacement HPC catalysts once every one to four years.
