ABSTRACT
FigurtB 16.26 Relationship of carbon number and boiling range for various organic compounds.
The hydrodesulfurization process variables (Speight, 2000) usually require some modification to accommodate the various feedstocks that are submitted for this particular aspect of refinery processing (Table 16. The main point of this section is to outline the hydrotreating process with particular reference to the heavier oils and residua. However, some reference to the lighter feedstocks is warranted. This will serve as a base point to indicate the necessary requirements for heavy oil and residuum hydrodesulfurization.
