Core Engineering Advantages

Key performance traits that ensure high selectivity, high octane output, and extended operational lifecycles.

1. Superior Metal Dispersion

Optimized surface chemistry and pore distribution secure uniform anchoring of precious metal particles (Pt/Re), preventing agglomeration.

2. High Thermal & Hydrothermal Stability

Resists phase transition and surface area shrinkage under high-temperature oxidative regeneration environments.

3. Controlled Acidity & Selectivity

Precise management of surface acid sites minimizes undesirable hydrocracking side-reactions, maximizing target reformate yields.

4. Robust Mechanical Integrity

High crush strength and low dusting characteristics prevent pressure build-ups during continuous cyclical regeneration runs.
