ExxonMobil’s MIDW™ catalyst technology and services provides high yields of low cloud point diesel. The process uses a proprietary catalyst that converts waxy paraffins to higher performance molecules, as compared with older technologies that rely on cracking. This results in a much higher diesel yield, particularly for deep reductions in cloud point.
Key Benefits:
Higher Performance
Better low-temperature properties
Increased unit flexibility
Higher Yields
Paraffins are isomerized instead of cracked
Lower Operating Costs
Higher capacities
Flexible process configurations
Lower reactor temperatures
Flexible, adaptable applications
Various grades of MIDW catalyst exist to suit unique refinery needs: catalysts for sweet or sour drop-in applications, as well as catalysts for standalone dewaxing reactors.
MIDW catalyst grades are tailored to meeting refineries’ specific cold-flow specifications.
Integration with complementary technologies to make clean, high-quality diesel.
Combined with ExxonMobil’s process technology, MIDW catalyst can provide refiners with powerful dewaxing in winter mode while dialing back performance in summer mode, reducing giveaway.
