Press Release
100th
Reference for Impulse™
the High-Performance
Hydrotreating Catalyst Technology
Three years after the successful release of a full range of hydrotreating catalysts covering all
domains from naphtha to VGO hydrotreating and hydrocracking pretreatment, Axens received its
100th
Impulse Catalyst Award in Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) service.
BP’s Kwinana Refinery (Australia) selected the HR 1246 CoMo catalyst following results of
pilot plant tests conducted by BP’s Refining Technology & Engineering Groups and subsequent
tendering process. Thanks to its intrinsic high activity, HR 1246 will be associated with
regenerated HR 626 and enable a less-than-10-wppm sulfur diesel product while reducing the
cost to fill.
Since the launch of Impulse catalyst technology, the market has recognized the value of this
Series of high-activity products. A success that keeps growing with several bids won every
month including a substantial number of repeat orders, recognition of the Impulse Series’
excellent performances.
