Hydrofining Catalyst for Middle and Low Distillate Oil
The hydrofining process is a refining technique used to enhance the quality of middle and low distillate oils, such as naphtha, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel, and light gas oils. This process removes impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and trace metals, and saturates olefins to produce cleaner, more stable, and environmentally compliant fuels or clean feedstock for further upgrading. For example, it can be used to pretreat naphtha feedstock before the CCR reforming process. It also saturates olefins to improve the thermal and oxidative stability of jet fuel, reducing gum formation during storage and transportation.
Hydrofining for middle and low distillate oils is a critical process in modern refineries, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, preparing feedstocks for smooth processing, and producing high-quality, stable fuels.
