Abstract

The increased demand for improved quality fuels and lubes, stringent specifications adopted worldwide and deteriorating crude quality requires new processing options for fuels and lubes production. Hydroprocessing offers flexiblity for processing difficult feeds and also the quality of products vastly improved mainly due to removal of sulfur and nitrogen compounds and reduction in aromatics content. The increase in hydrogen content also increases yields of products which makes hydroprocessing option economically viable process.
