EXCEL® REJUVENATION
Porocel® Excel® Rejuvenation allows:
►Restoring activity in the same range as fresh catalyst
activity
►Applying rejuvenation on all Type 1 and Type 2
hydrotreating catalysts
►Loading Excel® rejuvenated catalyst from Naphtha through
ULSD units, or combining with fresh catalysts (up to 50%)
for more demanding applications, such as CFH units
EXCEL® REJUVENATION
Excel® Rejuvenation has been pilot test validated by many major
refiners

NEW 2020 EMISSION NORMS
January 1st 2012, Euro IV norms,
3.5wt%S 50 ppmS ► From January 1st 2010, the limit for sulphur in marine fuel
will be reduced from 3.5wt% to 0.50wt% (IMO 2020
regulations)
IMO2020 Euro VI
► From April 2020, India will move from Euro IV emission norms
for petrol and diesel to Euro VI standards
January 1st 2020, April 2020, Euro VI, ► Porocel can work closely with its customers to be ready for the

COST SAVINGS
► Fill cost highly dependent on Moly ► Significant cost savings associated
pricing with partial or full load of Excel®
CONCLUSIONS
►Catalytic activity can be restored to the same tier as many fresh
catalysts
►Excel® technology can be applied to all Type 1 and Type 2 hydrotreating
catalysts
►Excel® rejuvenated catalysts reduce waste and provide significant cost
savings with respect to fresh catalysts
►Porocel provides worldwide technical support:
Assistance in catalyst selection
Technical proposals (kinetic modeling and performance predictions)
Start-up support
Long-term unit monitoring
