Over the years, hydrotreating process has been considerably improved in order to facilitate production of environmentally friendly diesel fuels by reducing sulphur and aromatics concentrations, as mandated contemporary emissions regulations. In this study, different kinetic models for hydrodearomatisation reaction influence rate on performance industrial trickle bed reactor gas oil light cycle ...

Abstract Bio-oil produced from biomass pyrolysis has the potential to become an alternative renewable fuel. However due high content of oxygenated compounds is unsuitable as transportation The objective this work evaluate catalytic activity CoMo /γ-Al 2 O 3 -HMS in hydrotreating process bio-oil. prepared catalyst was characterized by different techniques (X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission e...

The paper presents the main hazards at a diesel fuel hydrotreating plant an oil refinery in order to develop effective measures protect workers

This chapter presents an overview of the literature on the effect of phosphorus modification of ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) such as MCM-41, HMS, SBA-15, and SBA-16 to be used as supports for hydrotreating catalysts based on transition metal sulfides (TMS). The influence of the support modification with variable quantities of phosphorus on the performance for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and h...

This research thesis validates the potential of tall oil as a renewable feedstock for the production of base-chemicals, especially olefins, as conceived in the thermo-chemical bio-refinery concept. The focus was on the use of hydrotreating and steam cracking technologies with different tall oil feedstocks. Particular advances were accomplished in terms of technology development for high yield o...
