Proven Systems. Practical Impact.
HTI delivers reliable hydroprocessing technologies developed through decades of pilot testing and commercial validation. Our HCAT® and H-Coal® systems help refiners, licensors, and process developers boost throughput, increase conversion of resid and coal, and co-process renewable feeds without compromising onstream time or flexibility. Designed with operator input and proven in the field, these technologies reflect HTI’s commitment to results-driven innovation.
Maximum performance
Our technologies are designed to increase conversion, reduce fouling, and minimize shutdowns in demanding environments.
Feed flexibilty
We support a wide range of feedstocks, from heavy resid to unconventional sources, without compromising performance.
Trusted commercial results
HCAT® and H-Coal® technologies have been deployed worldwide, with HCAT delivering over 10 years of continuous success in complex upgrading and co-processing environments.

Your HCAT®, DCL® and H-Coal® Questions, Answered
Get clarity on how our hydrocarbon solutions work.
HCAT® is used in resid hydrocracking units to minimize unit fouling at maximum operating severity.
Yes. HCAT® and H-Coal® systems are designed for seamless integration into existing refinery infrastructure. Whether you’re upgrading residuum units or adding renewable co-processing capabilities, HTI provides engineering support to adapt our technologies to your specific unit configuration. Our solutions are field-tested in a wide range of commercial environments and backed by decades of implementation experience.
While DCL® processes coal, H-Coal® can process coal, heavy oils, and petroleum residues to produce synthetic crude and transportation fuels.
Yes. With over 80 years of experience processing diverse materials, HTI is at the forefront of renewable co-processing. Our pilot units and lab systems are built to validate a wide range of alternative feedstocks—including renewable liquids, bio materials, waste streams, and gases—within HCAT®-supported processes. This long track record enables us to support clients adapting to the energy transition with confidence and proven technical insight.
HTI supports clients throughout the entire commercialization journey, from pilot validation to full-scale deployment. Our team offers engineering design support, scale-up guidance, training, commissioning assistance, and long-term technical advisory services. We stay engaged well beyond startup, helping clients optimize performance, troubleshoot challenges, and adapt to evolving feedstocks or operational goals.
Unlike fixed-bed or supported catalysts, HCAT® is a dispersed, liquid catalyst that allows for better distribution and hydrogen transfer inside ebullated-bed reactors.
