Pilot plants for research in petroleum refining have been central to Xytel’s business throughout its 37 year history. And, they still are.

From the traditional areas of hydroprocessing (fixed bed hydrocracking, hydrotreating and residue hydroconversion) to some of the latest technologies (fluid bed desulphurization of gasoline, wax hydrocracking), Xytel is the world’s leader. We process the heaviest crude fractions to the lightest; from high pressure reactions to vacuum distillations; from gram to kilogram catalyst charges.

Xytel has extensive experience of  pilot plants for thermal processes such as desalting, distillation, solvent deasphalting, visbreaking and delayed coking.

Xytel as an approved supplier of W.R. Grace’s DCR Pilot Unit keeps on the cutting edge of the latest technology in FCC pilot plants.
