HEAVY CRUDE UPGRADING RESULTS

Altamira Heavy Crude Test Results

MTF’s catalytic process significantly improves crude quality by increasing API gravity, reducing viscosity, sulfur, and Conradson carbon — transforming a challenging crude into a higher-value, more marketable product.

HEAVY CRUDE UPGRADING RESULTS

Altamira Heavy Crude Test Results

Independent testing (Major UMO Refiner Evaluation) confirms MTF’s VTAE processing converts a low-value byproduct into refinery-compatible VGO, enabling increased Group III base oil production with no adverse impact on product quality.

INTEGRATION OPTIONS

Flexible Integration
for Your Refinery

Three proven pathways to incorporate MTF’s technology into existing refinery operations.

Option A

VGO Direct to Hydrotreater

MTF performs tight-cut fractionation and delivers VGO meeting specifications.

Option B

VGO to Wiped Film

MTF delivers VGO to WFE for heavy tail removal before hydrotreater.

Option C

MTF Unit Integrated On-Site

Full integration with feed preparation, reaction and separation within the refinery.
