FCC additives
Our fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) additives and addition systems are used in more refineries globally than any other FCC additive products, optimising LPG yield, decreasing bottoms yields, controlling regenerator afterburn and reducing SOx and NOx emissions from the FCC unit.
Most refiners now find it essential to use catalytic additives to supplement the FCC catalyst to achieve desired unit performance, product quality, and environmental emissions targets.
We are the foremost supplier of FCC additives and addition systems, specialising in the development, manufacture, sale, and technical support of both additives and addition systems for the refining industry. Our comprehensive range of FCC additives and addition systems allow refiners the flexibility to continuously optimise product yields and properties, and minimise emissions.
