Hydrodesulfurization is a widely used catalytic chemical process that removes sulfur from natural gas and refined petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel and jet fuels.
The current technology of hydrodesulfurization is quite adequate for the present standards [3], however the hydrotreating process is limited to the production of ultra-low sulfur fuels, and the consumptions are too high to meet future requirements.
It is installed on feedstock streams, fixed-bed hydrotreaters, hydrocrackers, and hydrodesulfurization units.
