Global Residue Hydrodemetalization Catalysts Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Residue hydrodemetalization (HDM) catalysts are specialized catalysts used in petroleum refining to remove metal contaminants, such as vanadium and nickel, from heavy crude oil residues. These metals, which are present in crude oil, can be harmful to refining equipment, poison other catalysts, and reduce the overall efficiency of the refining process. HDM catalysts are typically made of a combination of metals like molybdenum or tungsten supported on a solid material such as alumina, and they work by facilitating chemical reactions that break down complex hydrocarbons in the heavy oil, thereby removing metal impurities. The process of hydrodemetalization involves using hydrogen under high pressure and temperature to convert the metal-containing compounds into lighter, metal-free fractions that are more suitable for further refining and conversion into valuable products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These catalysts play a crucial role in improving the quality of refined products, extending the lifespan of refinery equipment, and increasing the overall economic viability of processing heavy crude oils.
