Hydrotreating

Hydrotreating is a refining process that improves the quality of petroleum products by removing impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals. It involves mixing the crude oil or refined fractions with hydrogen and passing the mixture over a catalyst at high temperature and pressure. This chemical reaction breaks down contaminants, converting them into safer, less harmful substances like water and gases. The result is cleaner fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, that meet environmental standards and are safer for engines. Hydrotreating helps produce more efficient, environmentally friendly fuels and reduces harmful emissions.
