Catalytic dewaxing with zeolites for improved profitability of ULSD production
New regulations mandating the sulfur content of on-road diesel to be 50/15ppm came into effect in Europe and in the US in 2005/2006. Many countries such as Germany and Japan are volunteering for 10 ppm sulfur. China and India with the fastest growing diesel markets are planning on implementing ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) by 2010. In order to comply with the stringent sulfur regulation, refiners are revamping and adding new units for ULSD. This paper describes how zeolite-based catalytic dewaxing works, what is crucial when it comes to optimizing dewaxing catalysts and how dewaxing can help refiners to improve product properties as well as the profitability of new / revamped ULSD hydroprocessing units.
