The Reason for the Highest Score on Life Cycle Value
DN-3551 NiMo and DC-2551 CoMo for FCC Pretreat Applications
Flexible feedstockcapability/stability
• Wide pore catalyst technology improved
Multi cycle useeconomics
• Strength/activity recovery from conventionalregeneration
FCC conversionFCC properties• Top tier performance
• Flexible delivered state
• Reduced catalyst densityLoading/shipping/turnaround cost

Start with a commercially proven optimized pore size distribution.
200 Series ExtrudatePrevious FCC PTCatalyst
Comparison of Pore Size Distribution
DN-3551 and DC-2551 exhibit similar pore size distribution
Increase of MPD and removal of small feeder pores allows the 200 extrudates to have increase metals pickup and deactivation tolerance
