Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) Units for Sale

Used 32,000 BPD Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) Units built in 1990. This hydrodesulfurization unit is used to desulfurize / desulphurize Light Gas Oil (LGO) and Kerosene to give a low sulfur product used for blending to give Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). This catalytic process is designed for 32,000 BPD of Light Gas Oil (LGO). The catalytic process of hydrodesulfurization, also known as hydrotreating, is the chemical process widely used to remove sulfur compounds from refined petroleum products such as gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and fuel oils. One reason for removing sulfur is to reduce sulfur dioxide SO2 emissions that result from the fuel combustion of petroleum products. Another purpose for removing sulfur from the intermediate product naptha streams within a petroleum refinery is that sulfur, even in extremely low concentrations, can severely damage the metal catalysts platinum and rhenium in the catalytic reforming units that are used to upgrade the octane rating in naptha streams. Hydrogenation of sulfur results in the toxic compound of Hydrogen Sulfide. In refineries, toxic hydrogen sulfide is converted into biproduct elemental sulfur.

Used hydrotreating unit reduces sulfur content in vacuum distillate by AXENS process. The products from this unit are: (a) C2 + gases that are directed to DGRS; (b) Stabilized hydrofined vacuum distillate; (c) Catalytic cracking feed; (d) diesel; (e) Fraction of wild gasoline (wild naphtha). Normal working pressure 64 barg at 425 degree Celsius.

Unused 225 BPD desulfurization unit designed to remove sulfur from hydrocarbon liquids from biomass through hydrodesulfurization process. It can also process other feedstocks. It can reduce sulfur content from 45 ppm to 7 ppm in diesel. Its reactor can accommodate between 2.1 to 10.4 m3/hr (315 to 1574 BPD) of feed treating capacity depending on selected feedstock, process, catalyst activity, and desired reaction severity. The unit was only run for testing purpose after it was installed. The unit is filled with fresh catalyst. In stock an extra 22.5 barrels of new catalyst is available. Vessels are under nitrogen blanket. This pilot-scale unit is perfect for process development or research projects. It can easily be repurposed to perform isomerization, heteroatom removal, de-nitrogenation, de-oxygenation, de-chlorination, de-metallization, de-waxing, cloud point reduction, olefin saturation, de-aromatization, mild hydrocracking.
