The stacked beds comprising hydrotreating catalyst as the top layer, hydrocracking catalyst based on amorphous silica-alumina as the interlayer and hydrocracking catalyst based on USY zeolite as the bottom layer were tested in hydrocracking of mixed feed containing straight-run VGO, heavy coker gas oil, aromatic extract and petrolatum. It is shown that stacked beds with developed catalysts can be successfully used both in the once-through hydrocracking to provide VGO conversion of 70-80% with middle distillates yields up to 50 wt% and in the first stage operation of two stages hydrocracker to provide 35-65% VGO
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
