Revamp report: Adapt existing assets to help improve margins

# Help unlock high returns quickly with low-capital hydrocracker revamps

Margin pressure and utilisation challenges require refiners to take steps to improve short-term performance. Failing to invest carries the risk of becoming competitively vulnerable.

Additionally, evolving demands around fuel patterns, fuel-quality and emissions regulations require effective solutions.

Fortunately, a wide range of low-capital revamp opportunities can help refiners exploit hydrocracker flexibility.

Discover how refiners can adapt hydrocrackers to changing market realities, extend cycle life, process low-cost crudes and capture more value per cycle.
