Predict commercial hydrotreater performance
The pilot plant test allows for the calculation of Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity, product selectivity, and inhibition factors. Using a catalyst performance prediction model (HydroScopeâ„¢) we can optimize hydrotreating unit performance and translate pilot plant test data into commercial performance, assessing the impact on cycle length, hydrogen consumption and product yields.
Advantages
-
- Translate pilot plant test data into commercial performance
- Quantification of margin improvement opportunities
- Optimized biofuel operation with minimum H2 purge
- Prediction of cycle length as a function of feedstock and operating conditions
- Assess impact of feed contaminants/poisons
