      what happens if the hydrogen is lower than the target value during the Sulfiding Procedure of Hydroprocessing catalyts? And what if it is upper?
      Answer:
      High purity of hydrogen gas means fast reactions of sulfiding and more water is produced in the boot as a result sulfiding will be completed in less time. But during high-purity gas, H2S should remain sufficiently high as recommended otherwise catalyst reduction reactions may proceed.
      Low-purity hydrogen gas will slow the sulfiding reactions.

      Therefore, it is better to take Hydrogen or makeup gas from high purity source. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit or direst from Platforming unit can be the possible sources with more than 90 %, hydrogen purity.
