Hydrotreating Process

UOP offers a full suite of hydrotreating applications under the name of Unionfining process. UOP is a leading hydroprocessing licensor with an installed base more than 500 Unionfiner units.

In recent years, the low sulfur gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel market has offered incentives to advance the state of this technology to meet low contaminant specifications.

UOP offers a number of ways for you to meet these specifications, from simple catalyst replacement with new generation of highly active catalysts to revamp of existing unit via addition of a reactor. Other UOP solutions include makeup hydrogen purification systems, recycle gas scrubbers, improved separation system, or an installation of a new unit.

At UOP, we have added several engineering design solutions to enhance the package for both existing unit revamps and new units – such as hot or enhanced high pressure separators, UltraMix reactor internals, co-processing, and divided wall columns.

With the low sulfur gasoline market facing the same challenges as ULSD, we are offering FCC gasoline desulfurization solutions to remove sulfur while retaining gasoline octane.
