CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle
Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals
industry, announced today that it is launching XPLORE™, a new
platform for the clean transportation fuels market. The XPLORE
catalyst platform is the result of breakthrough research in
hydroprocessing catalyst technology allowing refineries to produce
clean transportation fuels in a more efficient way. The new PULSAR
family, with KF 787 PULSAR™ as its first grade, is a cutting-edge,
premium catalyst line, designed for the production of clean
diesel.
KF 787 PULSAR was developed to bring high returns for refiners
who process high nitrogen and cracked feedstock, even when
constrained by low operating pressure and limited hydrogen
availability. A first commercial sale has already been made and
reference information is available.
"KF 787 PULSAR and the XPLORE platform technology reaffirm
Albemarle's commitment to
innovation within the market," said Annemie
Donkers, Vice President, Clean Fuels Technologies. "We are
pleased to bring this solution to market to continue to support our
customers' ever-changing needs."
