Hydrotreating
Hydrotreating technology is one of the most commonly used refinery
processes, designed to remove contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen,
condensed ring aromatics, or metals. The feedstocks used in the process
range from naphtha to vacuum resid, and the products in most applications
are used as environmentally acceptable clean fuels. Hydrotreating technology
has a long history of commercial application since 1950s, with more
than 500 licensed units placed in operation worldwide.
In 1995, UOP joined forces with Unocal to create the Unionfining technology.
The Unionfining process operates at elevated pressure and temperature and
consumes hydrogen.
Recent regulatory requirements to produce ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) and
gasoline, have created a very dynamic market as refiners must build new or
revamp their existing assets to produce the ‘green’ fuels. To meet
this challenge, UOP’s Clean Fuel Technology Center was created and staffed
with experts from several engineering disciplines, working together with customers
to address the refiner’s specific configurations and provide optimized
and economically attractive solutions.
UOP offers its customers a Unionfining technology process license, a wide selection
of catalysts, equipment for improved reactor operations, and a full range of
engineering design and technical services.
