R-560: Commercialisation Status

• 9 full charge & 1 stage load of R-560 catalyst loads operating

– More reloads coming

• UOP R-560 catalyst combines robustness and High Activity to deliver maximum Cycle Length

• R-560 is commercially proven with a wide range of feeds and severities

• High level of customer interest

– R-56 successor; for “rugged” applications

– Good fit for units with sulfur upsets &difficult regenerations

R-560: Exceeding Expectations
