Nebula® is the latest, highest activity shaped base metal catalyst and is the gold standard in catalytic hydrotreating. Jointly developed by Albemarle and ExxonMobil, Nebula has been successfully applied in practically all HPC applications, from naphtha hydrotreating to hydrocracking pretreatment.

MARKET-LEADING HYDROGENATIONNebula's characteristics give rise to a tremendous hydrogenation and denitrification activity — twice as much with respect to conventional catalyst — which can be used when extreme performance are sought. It represents the greatest step forward since the beginning of hydroprocessing catalyst development in the 1950s.

Nebula gives refiners market-leading hydrogenation power, leading to increased HDS, HDN and HDA activity. Due to its superior activity, Nebula is ideal as a drop-in solution in your existing HPC unit utilizing Albemarle's STAX® technology. Nebula can positively impact the complex units of a whole refinery, in addition to the individual unit.

Nebula is a commercially proven catalytic solution, with over 5,000 MT sold to over 60 individual users since its initial commercialization. And it is capable of unlocking value across several HPC segments, including ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) as well as LCO and VGO hydrocracking.
