Hydrogen
If you’re like most refiners, you face the constant challenge
of producing a product slate that must conform to ever tightening low-sulfur
fuel specifications. Of course, low-sulfur fuel production requires
ample supplies of hydrogen. For this reason, hydrogen management can
be one of the most critical factors in the ultimate profitability of
your refinery.
High purity hydrogen is consumed in any hydrotreating and hydrocracking
processes for the removal of sulfur and nitrogen compounds, as well
as in heavy hydrocarbon cracking and in the saturation of aromatic
compounds. Fortunately, the catalytic reforming process in your refinery
is a major source of hydrogen. UOP can provide you with the technology
you need to upgrade this hydrogen into high purity hydrogen.
UOP can also analyze your hydrogen balance situation and find ways
to recover by-product and off-gas hydrogen to improve your overall
efficiency and profitability.
For over thirty years, UOP has provided hydrogen recovery process technology
in the form of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and hydrogen membrane units.
