The Prox-SMZ Advantage

Today, BASF Catalysts is ready with the next generation of FCC catalysts with our newly launched Prox-SMZ technology platform. Specically engineered in response to recent market trends, products based on the Prox-SMZ platform combine attributes from both high zeolite and high matrix activity for maximum distillate yields from the FCC unit. HDXtra, BASFs rst gas oil catalyst from the Prox-SMZ platform sets a new industry standard with some of the highest MSA and matrix stability available along with lowest Na content, factors that combine to result in high LCO yield and low H-transfer activity for minimal cetane penalties. For maximization of distillate from heavy resid feeds, reners now have Stamina, the FCC catalyst with all of the benets of Prox-SMZ along with enhanced metals passivation abilities. Stamina can help reners meet the increased global demand for diesel fuels from the severest feeds. Recent trials have successfully demonstrated how well Stamina can process feeds with higher levels of contaminant metals while reducing slurry yields.
