Arranged catalysts for srtuctured hydrotreating reactors

总体而言，加拿大的许多行业都在朝着成本更低、环境足迹更小的技术发展，特别是精细化工和能源行业。在为无数应用实现更清洁、更便宜和更环保的解决方案方面，催化发挥了重要作用。该项目致力于具有竞争力的功能材料的制造，使其具有优势的催化性能。我们的目标是开发一种坚固的排列催化剂，适用于三相结构加氢反应器(如精细化工生产；石油提质)，这将在降低能源和氢耗的情况下提高生产率(如预期的那样高达数量级)。这一战略的建议应用之一是高金属含量重油的加氢处理，这满足了加拿大为更便宜、更安全和更环保的技术开发先进功能材料的需求，以及重油加氢处理创新突破性方法的行业需求。

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.
