    HYDROTREATING

    Hydrotreating is a hydrogenation process for contaminant removal, typically sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen, and metals. Hydrogen reacts with the contaminants in a reactor, which are separated from the distillate stream. The specific arrangement and design varies and depends on the feed composition and required desulphurization.

TDE evaluates and makes design considerations to determine optimum efficiency and contaminant removal. TDE's Hydrotreating Units incorporate design aspects suited to accommodate treatment for a range of inlet feeds to meet market specifications.

TDE offers either our Standard Pre-Engineered Modular Packages or Fully Customized Designs to meet varying project and schedule requirements.

HYDROTREATING EVALUATION

TDE evaluates and employs a variety of licensed designs to accommodate the variation in contaminants and distillate feed. Characteristics including impurity concentration, feedstock, and desired products can impact the selection of suitable hydrotreating technology. Additional aspects considered in the evaluation include hydrogen consumption and recycling, metallurgy and catalyst selection, reactor internals, energy requirements and economics.

HYDROTREATING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Catalyst
• Efficient hydrogen consumption and removal of impurities
• Minimize material costs over expected lifecycle

Reactor Internals
• Flow distribution to minimize radial temperature fluctuations
• Extension of catalyst life and capacity for increased feed rates

Metallurgy Selection
• Limit or prevent stress corrosion cracking
• Decrease downtime required for neutralization of acids

Impurity Removal
• Optimal catalyst reaction of sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen, and aromatics
• Demetallization prevents catalyst damage and maintains life expectancy

Hydrogen Consumption
• Recycled hydrogen and required make up rate
• Distribution of hydrogen to optimize mass transfer
