Petroleum Refinery Processes

Tail Gas Treatment in Sulfur Recovery Unit

The Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) in a Petroleum Refinery is designed to remove H2S from sour gases originating in the various refinery processes and convert them to industrial-grade molten sulfur. The process

Hydrogen Purification Processes in Petroleum Refinery

Owing to the implementation of strong environmental regulations, utilization of heavy crudes and upgrading the bottom of the barrel, the requirement for hydrotreatment in petroleum refineries is increasing day by

Hydrogen Production in Petroleum Refineries

Hydrogen is a key feedstock in many refining operations associated with the production of cleaner gasoline and diesel products, as well as high-quality premium lubricant base oils. Crude oil continues

Sour Water Treatment in Petroleum Refinery

Sour water treatment in a petroleum refinery is a vital process that ensures the safe handling and disposal of water produced during the refining process. The water, known as sour

Polymerization Process to Produce Gasoline in Oil Refinery

In the petroleum refinery, the polymerization process converts light olefin gases such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene into hydrocarbons with a greater molecular weight and a more significant octane number

Hydrogen Recovery by Pressure Swing Adsorption

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a process for purifying hydrogen in a petroleum refinery by removing other hydrocarbon gases. The PSA unit uses molecular sieves to adsorb hydrocarbons and impurities

Solvent Deasphalting Process in Petroleum Refinery

Solvent Deasphalting is an extraction process used in petroleum refining to remove the asphaltenes from the refinery residues to prepare a suitable feedstock for catalytic conversion unit and lube base

Visbreaking Process in Petroleum Refinery

A Visbreaking (means viscosity breaking) unit is a processing unit in a petroleum refinery that reduces the viscosity of a refinery residue and produces more valuable petroleum products. The Visbreaking

LPG Merox Process in Petroleum Refinery

The term Merox is an abbriviation of ” Mercaptan Oxidation”. It is a specialized catalytic chemical process created by UOP (Universal Oil Products) applied for the chemical treatment of petroleum distillates to
