The latest generation of boosted catalyst is called Impulse®.
This hydrotreating catalysts range includes HR 1226, HR 1246, HR 1256, HR 1218, HR 1248, HR 1056, HR 1058 and HRK 1448, covering all domains, from naphtha to VGO hydrotreating and hydrocracking pre-treatment.

Of Impulse® Catalysts with Revival®
After regeneration by coke burning, Impulse® Catalysts can be used again directly, however they will suffer from a deficit of activity as compared with a fresh batch of catalysts.
Revival® is an Axens proprietary process of chemical and thermal treatment allowing regenerated Hydroprocessing and Hydrocracking catalysts to recover their original activity. Thanks to a second stage treatment, it allows regenerated Impulse® Catalysts to come back to their original activity.
Key advantages:
- Activity recovery above 90% as compared with fresh catalysts
- No impact on the mechanical properties of the catalysts
- Catalysts handling and activation procedures are similar to fresh catalysts
Depending on the history of the used catalyst, Axens experts, through Revival® offer, guarantee customer performance targets by conducting engineering studies and surveys to maximize the catalysts reuse.
