Mild hydrocracking

Mild hydrocracking (MHC) is an application for conversion of heavy gas oils to primarily mid-distillate products. MHC is typically a low conversion (<30%) process done at moderate pressure and typically in a single reactor. The product quality of the distillate from a MHC unit depends strongly on the unit pressure and may need further upgrading to be acceptable as a clean fuel. The bottoms from a MHC unit make excellent FCC feedstocks and as a consequence, some FCC-PT units are operated in MHC mode.

Catalysts for MHC operations are normally CoMo or NiMo on amorphous silica-alumina. MHC catalysts have good activity for desulfurization and denitrogenation. Because MHC catalysts do not contain zeolites, no pretreatment catalysts are necessary.
