RL series lubricating base oil hydrotreating catalyst

RL series lubricating base oil hydrotreating catalyst

Overview of product performance and technical characteristics:

RL-1 catalyst is the trefoil shape catalyst with Ni-W as active components developed by SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing (RIPP) for production of medium or top grade lubricating base oil, rubber extending oil and white oil from various crudes under medium or high pressure. This catalyst has excellent balanced hydrogenation function and acid cracking function. It can effectively improve the viscosity Index and meanwhile keep higher yield of lubricating base oil. Moreover, it has high aromatic saturation activity, high desulfurization and denitrogenation activity, good stability as well as certain hydroisomerization activity. The integrated property of RL-1 reaches the international advanced level.

RL-2 catalyst is an improved butterfly shape catalyst with Ni-Mo-W as the active components based on RL-1 catalyst. Compared with RL-1 catalyst, it has higher hydrogenation activity and higher capability to improve the viscosity index, consequently, the space velocity of RL-2 can be increased by over 20%, or the reaction temperature decreased by 5-10 C to obtain the same product quality while keeping other reaction conditions the same.
