HyKat ZSM-538
FCC Additives (Gasoline Octane Maximization Type)
HyKat ZSM-538 is a microspherical catalytic additive whose active component is ZSM-5 zeolite with a high silica-to-alumina ratio. It is specifically designed to be used as an octane-enhancing additive in fluid catalytic cracking units.
During the catalytic cracking process, low-octane straight-chain hydrocarbons present in the gasoline fraction are selectively cracked. Isomerization and aromatization reactions are also promoted by HyKat ZSM-538. Consequently, the octane number of gasoline can be effectively increased, while a high gasoline yield is maintained. It is therefore used as a cost-effective solution for refineries producing high-quality clean gasoline.
