hte’s technology was delivered and implemented at Chevron’s Richmond Technology Centre in California in early 2016. “We have been operating this research solution for over nine months now and have seen excellent results. The data quality matches our pilot data,” said Bob Saxton, Manager of the Catalysis division at Chevron ETC. “To reduce our R&D costs and increase efficiency at the same time, we opted for downscaling. After many years of close collaboration, we selected hte to modernise our laboratory,” he added.

“The relationship between Chevron and hte has grown stronger over the years. I am delighted that the cooperation with our key customer Chevron ETC has now resulted in the selection of our state of the art hydrocracking workflow,” commented Wolfram Stichert, CEO at hte GmbH.
