[AQP] Turning Heavy Oils into High-Value Products Without External Hydrogen Dependency
The refining industry is at a pivotal moment. As?market dynamics shift, potential hydrogen costs rise, and environmental regulations tighten, one thing is clear:?how we process hydrocarbons must evolve.
We believe that progress doesn’t mean abandoning hydrocarbons—it means transforming how they are processed to be more efficient, sustainable, and profitable. That’s precisely what Aquaprocessing (AQP) delivers.
?? Introducing the AQP Technology Brief—Now Available for Download. This in-depth report explores the catalyst breakthrough behind AQP, a feedstock-agnostic, self-sustaining hydrogen process reshaping fossil fuel and renewable feedstock processing.
What’s Inside the AQP Technology Brief?
? Self-Generating Hydrogen – Unlike traditional methods, AQP eliminates reliance on external hydrogen, cutting costs and emissions.
? Economic Advantage – AQP improves refining margins by reducing CAPEX and OPEX, offering up to 47% higher revenues per input barrel than traditional methods.
? Feedstock Agnostic and environmentally responsible – Whether heavy oil, vacuum residues, pyrolysis oils, or aqueous bio-feeds, AQP can process the most challenging feedstocks that conventional catalysts struggle with.
? Sustainable Processing – The catalyst behind AQP doesn’t require sulfur activation, thrives in high-moisture environments, and is designed for long operational lifetimes.
? Scalability & Industry Readiness – The catalyst has been successfully produced at an industrial scale and is planned for commercial pilot deployment in 2025.
Why This Matters Now
With global energy markets facing uncertainty, shifting policies, and economic pressures mounting, stability is no longer guaranteed. Refiners and producers must stay agile, ensuring their operations remain profitable, efficient, and adaptable—no matter how the market shifts.
We need to be prepared. This means upgrading crude to a higher quality, making it more valuable and more marketable to a broader range of customers. We can do this, togehter!

So over the entire boiling range of crude, it appears you're simultaneously reforming, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, making sulfur simply disappear, reducing viscosity, reducing TAN, improving yields, improving cold properties, and reducing vac resid. All with minimal hydrogen partial pressure, apparently little heat, and minimal capital investment. After working for years as a technical expert in refining, forgive me for assessing that this is preposterous.
