What type of catalyst do we need for low pressure hydrotreating of middle distillates?

When it comes to selecting the right catalyst for the hydrotreatment of a middle distillates fraction at low pressure, a distinction has to be made between light (kerosene) and heavy (diesel) cuts.

Our tail gas unit is performing below spec. We are experiencing high levels of heat stable salts in the solvent. How do we deal with this?

The presence of heat stable salts does affect the performance of the amine solvent,1 consequently H2 S slip from the absorber may increase dramatically. To bring the H2 S slip back to acceptable levels, the amine solvent needs to be restored back to pristine conditions, either by a reclaiming process or by partial or full replacement.

Axens’ recent Successes in Hydrocracking

Hydrocracking is one of the major processes in refining converting, in presence of hydrogen, low-value heavy feedstock into high value clean fuels and saturated naphtha. It contributes greatly to the refinery cash flow and flexibility through the cycles and it is becoming an instrumental process for naphtha production as a premium feedstock for crude to petrochemical complexes.
