News with JGC C&C

hte – the high throughput experimentation company and JGC C&C announce a research project in the field of hydrocracking catalyst activity testing. In this collaboration hte used its in-house developed X4500 – trickle-bed catalyst testing system for hydroprocessing applications.

The research project allows JGC C&C to use hte’s X4500 testing system in order to evaluate different extrudate-type hydrocracking catalysts in a stacked-bed configuration. The X4500 system is optimized for high throughput testing of hydroprocessing catalysts under demanding conditions, while processing highly viscous feeds. It allows small-scale testing in the range of 1-5 mL over extended periods of time whilst maintaining excellent data quality comparable to pilot plant data.

“hte’s proven, industry leading high throughput technology allows us to test our catalysts in a very fast and reliable manner at reduced costs and much faster time-to-market as a consequence,” said Dr. Jun Fuchikami, General Manager at the Catalysts Research Center of JGC C&C.

“We are pleased that JGC C&C has chosen to work with hte. We see this as a further acknowledgement of our technology and services contributing to JGC C&C´s success. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership and our role in the Japanese market,“ commented Wolfram Stichert, CEO at hte.
