Distillate Hydrotreating p1

Hydrotreating processes aim to remove impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, olefins, and metals from distillate fuels like naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. This is achieved by treating the fuel feed with hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst. The key impurities—sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen—are removed through reactions with hydrogen, transforming them into forms that are eliminated from the fuel as water, ammonia, or sulfur compounds. Olefins are also transformed to prevent coking on the catalyst during the high temperature process.

Hydrotreating processes aim at


the removal of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen
from distillate fuelsnaphtha, kerosene, and diesel
by treating the feed with hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure in
the presence of a catalyst

The principals impurities to be removed


Sulfur
Sulfur-containing compounds are
mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides,
polysulfides, and thiophenes
Nitrogen
Oxygen
(dissolved or present In the form of comp.
(phenols , preoxides after reacting with H2
eliminated into water
Olefins
at high temp. can cause coke deposits on
catalyst or on furnace so it transformed
into stable paraffinic HCs
Metals
