Arranged catalysts for srtuctured hydrotreating reactors

总的来说，许多加拿大工业正在朝着成本更低、环境足迹更小的技术发展，特别是精细化工和能源工业。催化在实现更清洁、更便宜、更环保的解决方案方面发挥了重要作用。该项目致力于制造具有优势催化性能的功能性材料。我们的目标是开发一种适用于三相结构加氢反应器（例如，精细化工生产；石油升级）的坚固的排列催化剂，这将在降低能源和氢消耗的情况下提高生产率（如预期的那样达到数量级）。该策略的一个拟议应用是对高金属含量的重油进行加氢处理，这既满足了加拿大开发更便宜、更安全、更环保的先进功能材料的需求，也满足了重油加氢处理创新突破方法的行业需求。

In general, many Canadian industries are progressing toward less expensive and smaller environmental footprint technologies, in particular the fine chemicals and energy industry. Catalysis has played a major role in achieving cleaner, less expensive, and more environmentally friendly solutions for countless applications. The project addresses competitive manufacturing of functional materials that enable advantaged catalytic performance. Our aim is to develop a robust arranged catalyst suitable for applications in three-phase structured hydrogenation reactors (e.g., fine chemical production; oil upgrading), which would allow increased productivity (up to order-of magnitude, as expected) at decreased energy and hydrogen consumption. One of the proposed applications of this strategy is hydrotreating of heavy oils with high metal content, which addresses Canada's needs in developing advanced functional materials for cheaper, safer and more environmentally benign technologies, as well as industry needs in innovative breakthrough approaches to heavy oil hydrotreating.
