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.

Leading refiners have already unlocked major value through low-cost hydrocracker technology revamps.
For example, during phase 1, Hyundai Oilbank revamped the atmospheric residue desulphurisation Module 2 and increased capacity by 50% above original design, processing 100% deasphalted oil at 50% conversion.
We cover more real-world examples from Hyundai Oilbank, Shell Pernis, Shell NORCO and SASREF in our guide.
