Refinery Catalysts Market Strategies,
Analysis, and Opportunities by Radiant
Insights, Inc.
“The market for refinery catalysts in the oil refining
sector at $4,967 million in 2016 is expected to be
worth $6,490 million by 2023, growing at 3.8% on
average between 2017 and 2023.”
The refinery catalyst market is thus boosted by the fact that the efficient use of catalysts can help
the manufacturers' better address the increasing energy demand. Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is
the conversion process used in petroleum refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-boiling,
high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils to more valuable gasoline,
olefinic gases and other products.
Cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons is done by catalytic cracking because it produces more
gasoline with a higher-octane rating. Byproduct gases are more olefinic. These are more valuable
than those produced by thermal cracking.
The feedstock to an FCC is that portion of the crude oil that has an initial boiling point of 340 °C or
higher at atmospheric pressure. The average molecular weight ranges from about 200 to 600 or
higher. This portion of crude oil is often referred to as heavy gas oil.
