The present invention addresses to obtaining a support of hydrorefining catalysts by an innovative preparation route that reduces the problem of loss (or leaching) of boron over the operating time of industrial units. As the presence of boron in catalysts contributes to increased activity (hydrogenating and acidic) and stability for the hydrorefining reactions (hydrotreating and hydrocracking), its maintenance in the catalyst guarantees the preservation of the properties in operation, throughout the entire cycle of campaign of industrial units.

A reactor system for carrying out an endothermic catalytic chemical reaction in a given temperature range upon bringing a reactant into contact with a catalyst material. The reactor system includes a reactor unit arranged to accommodate catalyst material including one or more ferromagnetic macroscopic supports susceptible for induction heating where the one or more ferromagnetic macroscopic supports are ferromagnetic at temperatures up to an upper limit of the given temperature range. The one or more ferromagnetic macroscopic supports are coated with an oxide, and the oxide is impregnated with catalytically active particles. The reactor system moreover includes an induction coil arranged to be powered by a power source supplying alternating current and being positioned so as to generate an alternating magnetic field within the reactor unit upon energization by the power source, whereby the catalyst material is heated to a temperature within the temperature range by the alternating magnetic field.
