Hydrotreating Chemical Reactions

Hydrotreating is the reaction of organic compounds in the presence of Hydrogen to remove sulfur, nitrogen, metals, halides, and oxygen from the petroleum fractions ranging from LPG to vacuum residue.

Hydrotreating Process in Oil Refinery

Hydrotreating, Hydroprocessing, or Hydrodesulfurization is a process in which the petroleum feed stream reacts with Hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst, to remove the

Hydrotreating Reactor Internals

Hydroprocessing is not only essential to remove the contaminants from petroleum products but also for breaking the heavy hydrocarbons into lighter ones to produce more valuable products. Hydroprocessing reactions are

Euro Specifications of Diesel Fuel

Diesel fuel also called Gas oil is a liquid fuel used in internal combustion engines. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons (C11~C22) obtained by Crude Oil Distillation. Diesel is used

Pollution Controls in Petroleum Refinery Hydroprocessing Unit

In petroleum refineries, the Hydrotreating process mainly removes Sulfur from Naphtha, Kerosene, and Diesel to produce environment-friendly petroleum products in an oil refinery. On the other hand, during the operation

Solving Fouling Problems of Hydrotreating Reactor

The Hydrotreating process is critical for oil refineries to produce low sulfur petroleum products and meet strict quality and environmental standards. The major issue with the Hydroprocessing unit operation is

Grading or Guard bed Catalysts in Hydrotreating Reactors

Grading and guard bed catalysts are the macro-porous, grading material at the inlet of the hydrotreating reactor to remove fouling agents and save the main reactive hydrotreating catalyst from fouling

Effects of Feed Metals on Hydrotreating Catalysts

The feedstock of the Hydrotreating unit contains metal contaminants along with Sulfur and Nitrogen. These metallic compounds are a challenge for the catalyst performance and can damage the catalyst activity

Performance Monitoring of Hydrotreating Reactor

Performance Monitoring of Hydrotreating Catalyst Hydrotreating is one of the most important catalytic processes in the oil refinery to produce valuable products to meet stringent environmental regulations. The hydrotreating process is
