Shell (RDS.A) JV to Evaluate Catalyst Recycling Unit in China
Read MoreHide Full Article
Royal Dutch Shell plc’s joint venture with specialty metals and minerals producer AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Shandong Yulong Petrochemical Co., Ltd. to assess the construction and operational prospective of a leading spent-catalyst recycling facility in Yantai, China. The joint venture — Shell & AMG Recycling B.V — was formed in 2019 and is designed to expand AMG’s clean recycling technology globally.
The MoU will enable Shell & AMG Recycling B.V. to analyse the usefulness of developing a facility that retrieves valuable metals by the recycling of spent residue-upgrading catalysts, produced by refineries in China. The catalyst enhances the upgradation of the oil barrel bottoms into valued products, namely nickel, molybdenum and petrochemicals feedstocks.
The opted method extracts toxic substances such as vanadium in the form of ferrovanadium, an alloy primarily used in infrastructure applications. Further, the facility will utilize China’s natural resources to the fullest extent and address the need to provide eco-friendly management of spent residue-upgrading catalysts to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Shell & AMG’s combined technological proficiency and integrated resources will provide benefits to the refineries by lowering risks along with reduction in transportation as well as disposing cost of spent-catalysts and eliminating the practise to landfill. Besides, the monetization of the valuable metals present in the wastes will grant extended benefits.
Per Andy Gosse, president, Shell Catalysts & Technologies, the rise in the number of operational residue-upgrading units reflects the increased focus on direct conversion of crude oil to high-value chemical products in our industry. The collaboration will provide a long-term feasible solution for catalyst reclamation and help deliver refiners the option of a truly circular solution, turning wastes into resources through recycling and reusing.

Its shares have gained 4.8% against the industry’s 1.1% decline.
