Drop-in mixed-oxide catalyst platform (MeFeAl) validated at 40 Bar. Delivers 13x activity in ULSD hydrotreating (14.44x bicyclohexyl selectivity for hydrogenation) & HDS/HYD selectivity 6-8x superior to alumina in FCC naphtha. zero CAPEX

Joint Development (JDA) or Custom Tolling partners to transition from TRL 4 to TRL 6 via 10–50 kg batch scale-up, Side Crushing Strength (SCS) evaluation, and extrusion testing. Strictly zero new CAPEX required for drop-in synthesis.
About
PhD Chemical Engineer with scale-up know-how for a TRL-4 drop-in mixed-oxide catalyst platform. Tested at 40 Bar, it drastically outperforms commercial CoMo/Al₂O₃: • FCC Naphtha (CoMo/CoFeAl): Intrinsic activity is ~4x higher (29.6 vs 7.7 mmol/h/m²) . Achieves HDS/HYD selectivity of 8.85 (vs 1.36) with just 5% HYD conversion, perfectly preserving octane • Diesel (CoMo/MgFeAl & NiFeAl): MgFeAl boosts HYD surface activity 3.35x. In DBT HDS, MgFeAl hits an HYD/DDS selectivity of 0.439 (4.7x > alumina's 0.092) . NiFeAl reaches an unmatched 0.631 (6.8x superior), driving deep hydrogenation for max cetane. Requires zero new CAPEX for standard tolling assets. Seeking JDA for pilot extrusion scale-up.
