hydroprocessing

Hydroprocessing is a refining process used in the oil industry to improve the quality of fuels and other petroleum products. It involves treating crude or heavy oils with hydrogen, high temperatures, and pressure to remove impurities like sulfur, nitrogen, and metals. This process helps convert raw oil into cleaner, more efficient fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, meeting environmental standards. Essentially, hydroprocessing refines crude oil by breaking down complex molecules and removing unwanted substances, resulting in higher-quality products essential for transportation and industry.
