Catalyst and process for producing low-aromatics distillates

摘要

The invention provides a process for decreasing the aromatics content of a hydrodesulfurized feedstock containing up to 80 weight percent aromatics in the presence of a catalyst comprising a Group VIIIA metal and ultrastable zeolite Y having a unit cell size of form 2.410 to 2.429 nm to evolve product containing less than 20 weight percent aromatics at a 199 C+ conversion of less than 30 weight percent.
