as a function of the application. In this manner, mesopore quantity and quality are optimised, yielding the true poten- tial of mesoporous zeolites.” First-mover knowledge has been developed on how to relate the acidity and porosity characteristics of the zeo- lite powder to the hydrocracking performance of the resulting catalyst. Using unique descriptors, the catalytic performance of parent state-of-the-art mesoporous and Zeopore’s materials can be suitably related, paving the way to guidelines for the design of optimal faujasites for use in hydrocracking. The benefits of the improved performance are clear, says CEO Kurt Du Mong: “These results yield an impressive 0.5 USD per barrel and 15 mln USD per cycle extra for an aver- age cracker, making an attractive business case for any
refiner. Moreover, reduced lights, lowered hydrogen con - sumption, and lower reactor temperature are increasingly valuable secondary benefits, as they positively impact the environmental footprint of the unit.” Zeopore Technologies NV (www.zeopore.com) is cur- rently commercialising its technologies for several applica- tions and will use the obtained insights to maximise the benefits for refiners. The latter is achieved by maximising the catalytic potential combined with low-cost mesoporisa- tion strategies.
