Ketjen and Imubit introduce real-time catalyst intelligence for FCC and hydroprocessing
- Ketjen and Imubit will combine Ketjen’s proprietary catalyst models, lab data and technical analysis with Imubit’s closed‑loop, real‑time AI platform.
- The service targets fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and hydroprocessing (HPC) units and will surface process and catalyst data plus near‑real‑time, expert‑driven insights via Ketjen’s iKet Connect portal.
- Imubit’s platform provides secure, continuous connectivity to refinery systems, learns unit behaviour from live data, detects deviations and quantifies their impact.
- Pilot deployments are underway in North America and Europe, with plans to expand to additional sites and regions in 2026.
Partnership scope
Ketjen has partnered with Imubit to deliver real‑time catalyst intelligence that combines Ketjen’s catalyst expertise—proprietary models, laboratory data and technical analysis—with Imubit’s closed‑loop, real‑time digital platform.
Technical integration
The integration will surface process and catalyst data through Ketjen’s iKet Connect portal and use Imubit’s platform to maintain secure, continuous connectivity to refinery systems, learn unit behaviour from live data, detect deviations and quantify their impact.
Operational guidance
Ketjen’s technical teams will embed advisory models and domain knowledge into the platform to provide near‑real‑time, expert‑driven insights that guide operating adjustments, catalyst strategy and unit optimisation for FCC and hydroprocessing units.
Deployment status and timeline
Pilot deployments are already under way with refinery customers in North America and Europe, and the partners plan to expand to additional sites and regions in 2026.
