August 21, 2025 - 05:04
HOUSTON, August 20, 2025—Ketjen Corporation has announced the launch of SaFeGuard™, a groundbreaking catalyst technology aimed at effectively mitigating the detrimental effects of iron poisoning in Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units. This innovative solution addresses a critical challenge faced by refineries, particularly those processing heavy iron-rich feedstocks.
In a comprehensive 30-day commercial trial, SaFeGuard™ showcased remarkable performance, achieving a 77% improvement in catalyst accessibility. This enhancement was made possible through a 50% inventory replacement, which significantly boosted unit activity and improved the cracking of heavier hydrocarbons. The technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also allows refineries to optimize their processes when dealing with challenging feedstock.
The development of SaFeGuard™ marks a significant advancement in catalyst technology, providing refineries with a reliable solution to enhance productivity and reduce downtime associated with iron poisoning. As the industry continues to evolve, innovations like SaFeGuard™ play a crucial role in meeting the demands of modern refining operations.
