Study of the Application of Composite Beds for Petroleum Residue Hydrodesulfurization
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible advantages of using catalyst activity zoning during hydrodesulfurization of a petroleum residue. Three different commercial Ni-Mo catalysts were employed singly or in combination in a two-zone, trickle bed reactor. The operating conditions were 10.3 MPa, 380�C, 1.0 LHSV (based on total bed volume of both zones), and 1,781 std m3 (hydrogen)/m 3 (oil).
