MACH hydrocracking catalysts:

From nano engineering to refinery results

In 2020 Shell Catalysts & Technologies revealed an innovative nano-engineered zeolite and described how its new pore structure presented a variety of highly valuable opportunities for refiners.

Now, three years later, this new technology – called Molecular Access Catalysts for Hydrocracking (MACH) – is being used by customers around the globe.

In this webcast, we will profile both the scientific innovation and the impact it has had on customers’ performance. For example, we will:

describe how the R&D programme unlocked the ability to get heavy molecules in challenging feeds into the zeolite’s narrow micropores, and to quickly remove them;
explain the opportunities that this presents to refiners, such as the more efficient conversion of feed molecules into high quality fuels, lubricants and petrochemical products, and the potential bottom-line impact for refiners; and
profile three real-world applications, in which customers have benefited from, for example, up to 8% higher diesel yields.

Stream the webinar now to learn how customers are leveraging MACH to unlock competitive advantages and to understand what it could mean for you.
