• Industries Served : Petroleum refining : Resid and Heavy Feeds Hydroconversion

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 (wax hydrocracking, deep conversion in slurry or ebullated bed), 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 tens of kilogram catalyst charges.
