08-25-2008: Twelve scientists from Albemarle Corporation and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company were honored by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in a special ceremony as "Heroes of Chemistry" for their work in the development of NEBULA(R) catalyst, a more environmentally sustainable catalyst for the production of cleaner diesel fuels.
The 2008 Heroes of Chemistry honored in Philadelphia during the 236th National Meeting of the ACS were: Ir. Rinus Cerfontain, Ph.D.; Sonja Eijsbouts, Ph.D.; Ir. Hans Homan Free, M.S.c.; Bob Leliveld, Ph.D.; Ing. Bob Oogjen; and Frans Plantenga, Ph.D., of Albemarle, and Michael Kerby, Ph.D.; Ernie Lewis, Ph.D.; Stephen McCarthy; Sabato Miseo; Kenneth Riley, Ph.D., and Stuart Soled, Ph.D., of ExxonMobil.
According to the company, NEBULA catalyst is a hydroprocessing catalyst that is two to three times as active as previous generation catalysts, allowing refiners to achieve the stringent low sulfur levels required for cleaner-burning, ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuels without adding capital expense.
