Our Hydrotreating Units Technologies
Our hydrotreating units are designed to provide high-quality solutions across multiple refining processes. These processes enhance product value, meet stringent environmental standards, and improve fuel performance. Below is a detailed overview of the core technologies:
The upgrading of base oil hydrotreating is a crucial stage in the production of high-quality lubricants. Our hydrotreating units enhance group 1 base oil to group 2 base oil, thus fortifying its functionality and prolonging the life of lubricants. This method eliminates the impurity components like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen from the oils and thus the oils get stability through the removal of these impurities.
- Heating Oil: The base oil that is upgraded has the excellent qualities of low-temperature fluidity and better viscosity index (VI), which makes it effective for the lubrication of auto, industrial, and high-performance applications.
- Durability: The oil breakdown at high temperatures is less due to increased oxidation stability, and, in this way, the oil, as well as the machinery it lubricates, gets a longer life.
- Complies with Industry Norms: The base oil that has undergone upgrading meets the quality standards of modern lubricants, thus it is high in performance and has longer oil change intervals.
Our Hydrotreating Plants employ cutting-edge Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technique for sulfur removal from diesel and naphtha, thus leading to full compliance with the strictest environmental regulations like Euro 5 standards.
- Sulfur Removal Efficiency: The HDS method employs hydrogen and a catalyst for converting the sulfur compounds present in diesel and naphtha to hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and the hydrogen sulfide is then isolated. It leads to the very low sulfur quantity, usually beneath 50 ppm, which is very important for the reduction of the harmful emissions.
- Meeting the Euro 5 Standards: The HDS system achieves the top production of eco-fuels meeting the Euro 5 emission standards. The modern engines and vehicles thus help in winning the battle against sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions and air pollution.
- Quality of Fuel Improved: HDS does the job of draining sulfur, thus enhancing the combustion efficiency of the diesel and naphtha, leading to cleaner exhaust emissions and better engine performance. Besides, it lessens the formation of particulate matter, thus increasing the engine’s life and reducing the costs for maintenance.
Hydro reforming, also known as hydrocatalytic reforming or hydroprocessing reforming, is a chemical process in which hydrocarbons (typically in the form of petroleum fractions) are treated with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst. The main purpose of hydro reforming is to convert heavier, less valuable hydrocarbons into lighter, more valuable products, such as high-quality gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel.
- Converts low-octane gasoline, naphtha or heavy hydrocarbons into high-octane reformate.
- Removes impurities like sulfur, nitrogen, and metals.
- Produces hydrogen as a byproduct.
Isomerization is a catalytic process that converts straight-chain hydrocarbons into branched-chain isomers, significantly improving the octane rating of naphtha. This technology is essential for producing high-quality gasoline and valuable chemical feedstocks.
- Boosts Octane Rating: The process increases the octane number of naphtha, making it an excellent component for high-performance gasoline production.
- Improves Fuel Efficiency: By producing higher-octane fuel, isomerization helps prevent engine knocking and ensures smoother operation.
- Valuable Chemical Feedstocks: The isomerization process also produces valuable hydrocarbons that are used in various chemical applications, including the production of polymers and synthetic fuels.
Aromatization converts paraffins (straight-chain hydrocarbons) into aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. This process increases the value of feedstocks by producing high-demand chemicals used in a wide range of industries.
- Produces High-Value Chemicals: Aromatic hydrocarbons are essential raw materials for the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, solvents, and other chemicals.
- Increases Energy Density: Aromatic hydrocarbons have higher energy density compared to paraffins, making them valuable as fuel additives or high-energy fuels.
- Supports Petrochemical Production: Aromatization provides essential feedstocks for the petrochemical industry, enabling the production of a wide array of chemical products.
