Increasing global demand for fuels <\/strong>and heavier feedstocks<\/strong> as well as tightening environmental regulations create a pressing need for the refining and petrochemical industry to optimise <\/strong>or develop new processes<\/strong> to generate and secure today\u2019s fuels for mobile transportation (CNG, LNG and LPG, gasoline and diesel) as well as platform chemicals<\/strong> for the petrochemical industry (C2 -C8 olefins, alcohols, aromatics). However, while demand for fuels <\/strong>and especially diesel <\/strong>is increasing, crude oils<\/strong> are becoming ever heavier. Furthermore, environmental regulations stipulate lower sulphur and nitrogen<\/strong> content. There is a need for refineries to optimise or develop new processes for the conversion of products derived from the bottom of the atmospheric distillation column<\/strong> such as atmospheric residue<\/strong> or atmospheric\/ vacuum gas oils. <\/strong>In this context, it is necessary to develop new catalysts or evaluate several commercial catalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
