ULTIMet™ High-Activity Catalyst for HydrotreatingHigher activity for higher yields and higher profits

Meeting stringent clean fuel specifications is always challenging, and it can be even more

difficult when processing heavier feedstocks. The new ULTIMet™ hydrotreating catalyst from

Honeywell UOP changes that. Significantly more active than conventional choices, it processes

challenging feeds without the need for additional reactor space or higher pressure.

An Active Addition to the Unity LineupULTIMet is the latest addition to Honeywell UOP’s vast lineup of Unity catalysts. For more than 50 years, hydroprocessing

customers have relied on Honeywell UOP for complete solutions — equipment, licenses, technical expertise and catalysts.

Plus, UOP catalysts are universal and work with a range of equipment. That’s why the complete catalyst selection is called

Unity, and ULTIMet makes a great lineup even stronger.

Achieve MoreOpportunity crudes only provide an opportunity if you can efficiently process them. ULTIMet makes that happen. It’s

Honeywell UOP’s most active hydrotreating catalyst, used in diesel and VGO hydrotreating applications to produce a

higher-quality product while meeting tight environmental regulations.

• Get more profit from difficult feeds

• Go longer between catalyst change-outs

• Operate at higher feed rates to improve utilization

• Increased volume swell

• Works in existing units, so no capital investment is needed

ULTIMet in ActionULTIMet is designed to work in conjunction with Honeywell UOP’s HYT-6219 hydrocracking pretreat catalyst.

A variety of configurations can be used to remove sulfur and nitrogen and retain cetane levels.

As this chart shows, ULTIMet thrives on

activity with hydrogen in a range of mixtures.

Feed Properties

- LCO

- S = 0.7%

- N = 1000 ppm

- Sp. Gr. = 0.937

During a study of light cycle oil

for hydrocracking, use of ULTIMet

dramatically improved sulfur

removal and API uplift in the

presence of nitrogen.

Feed Properties

- LCO

- S = 0.7%

- N = 1000 ppm

- Sp. Gr. = 0.937
