ISOCRACKING

Research

At CLG, innovation in hydrocracking is a tradition that began with Chevron's invention of modern hydrocracking more than 40 years ago. Since then, CLG has continued Chevron's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the development of new and unique hydrocracking processes and technology. As a result of our successful innovations, we are the leading developer and supplier of advanced hydrocracking technology. CLG ISOCRACKING is now being selected by more refiners than any other hydrocracking technology.


ISOCRACKING
delivers quality

CLG has designed over 100 hydroprocessing plants to date, with a combined daily operating capacity of more than two million barrels. Because CLG is experienced as a licensor, a refiner, and a world-class engineering company, we offer expertise in hydrocracking that few companies can match. We make this expertise available to our customers through active research and development programs, pilot plant studies and a full range of engineering and technical support services.

CLG ISOCRACKING produces a highly isomerized slate of superior-quality products

ISOCRACKING differs from other hydrocracking processes in that it combines:

  • operations-oriented designs
  • amorphous, amorphous/zeolite and zeolite catalyst technology
  • optimized reactor systems
  • advanced internals technology
  • low fuel consumption

In recent years ISOCRACKING has increasingly been applied in patented integrated schemes with distillates and residue processing to produce finished products at substantial capital savings.
