Catalyst Intelligence can assist with writing the ITB, comparing commercial and technical offers, and negotiating the guarantees and commercial terms.
We start by analyzing the refinery requirements for the unit, looking at the past cycle with feedstock and operating conditions, and expected feedstock
and operating conditions for the next cycle including desired product properties and cycle length. In case of opportunity crudes it can be beneficial to
specify different operating scenarios and to request a performance guarantee for each scenario. Although initial activities can be measured accurately
in independent third party laboratory testing, the stability is something that needs to be guaranteed by the vendor based on his performance model and
relevant references. We help the refinery put the requirements in the ITB and we can assist in comparing the technical and commercial offers.
