Petroleum Refining Catalysts - Global Market Opportunities

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164400/Petroleum-Refining-Catalysts---Global-Market-Opportunities.html

Rising environmental concerns is leading to a tightening of legislation on transportation fuel quality, with several governments across the world enforcing restrictions on the levels of sulfur, nitrogen, metals and other harmful aromatics contained in fuel. This is expected to create a demand for refined reformulated and less-polluting gasolines, and encourage refineries to invest resources into renovating their petroleum refining catalysis processes to adhere to the regulatory standards. Unabated technology innovations and development of advanced petroleum refining catalysts is additionally kindling the market's growth. Demand is expected to be especially high for catalysts, which are safe to handle, non-corrosive, less polluting in terms of by-product generation, and which eliminate the need for treatment of waste acids. This in turn is expected to step up the popularity of solid-acid catalysts.

The need for fuel-efficient vehicles with lower emission levels is leading to a rise in demand for next generation automotive catalysts capable of withstanding high temperature, and controlling emissions. Declining availability of high quality light oils, and the need to refine heavy crude oil is expected to help the market score huge gains in the short to medium term. The ban on methyl tertiary-butyl either (MTBE) is resulting in the production of higher-octane gasoline, which in turn is leading to increased demand for alkylation catalysts. All of these factors, among several others, spell out attractive opportunities for petroleum refining catalysts.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Petroleum Refining Catalysts: Global Market Opportunities" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses
