Introducing Celestia™ - An ultra-high-activity hydroprocessing catalyst for increased flexibility and profitability

Celestia™ hydroprocessing catalyst is designed for refinery leaders focused on margin improvement. Celestia offers the highest hydrodesulfurization (HDS), hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) and aromatic saturation activity of any hydroprocessing catalyst in the industry. Jointly developed by ExxonMobil and Albemarle, Celestia is deployed alongside Nebula^®, its predecessor, to provide operational flexibility, superior earnings and refinery optimization, also adding value beyond the hydrotreating battery limits.
