How refiners achieved more value with low-cost hydrocracker revamps

Discover how refiners are adapting hydrocrackers to changing market realities, extending cycle life, processing low-cost crudes, and capturing more value per cycle.

 

Why hydrocracker revamps matter

The refining landscape has shifted. Margins remain under pressure, fuel demand patterns are evolving, and evolving fuel-quality and emissions regulations demand effective solutions.

A hydrocracker revamp offers a cost-effective way to:

  • Increase profitability without major capital investment
  • Maximise flexibility in product yields
  • Respond quickly to market changes
