Abstract:Due to a low content of H2 in the makeup gas which was added into the recirculation stream, the
hydrodesulfurization (HDS) efficiency of the commercial unit is continuously decreasing. To maintain the
required level of sulfur in the products, both elevated temperature and a space velocity decrease were applied.
This situation ends with a severe capacity reduction. The observed decline in HDS efficiency is due to the
disturbed H2/H2S ratio in the recycle gas. This was confirmed by the pilot-plant studies of the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
