Hydrotreating of the Cut Which Has Boiling Range From Initial Boiling Point To 823K

Abstract

The wide petroleum distillate, which has the boiling range from initial boiling point to 823 k, were hydroteated in trickle – bed reactor using cobalt – molybdenum alumina as a Catalyst. The reaction range temperatures was 598 – 673 k, while LHSV was 0.7 – 2 hr-1. The pressure and H2/Oil for all experiments keep constant at 3Mpa and 300 L/L respectively. The result shows that the sulphur and metals content decreased with the increasing of temperature and decreasing in LHSV. Desulphurization kinetic was studied and found that the kinetic of sulphur removal is of first – order. Activation energy was calculated and this value is 28.225 KJ / mole.
