Refining adsorbent solutions

From shifting fuel demands to stricter product specifications and environmental regulations, the refining industry is evolving. We can help you meet today’s refining challenges through effective contaminant removal. 

A pioneer in adsorbent technology, Honeywell UOP offers non-regenerative and regenerative adsorbents that remove harmful impurities from various hydrocarbon streams to meet your specifications, reduce costly plant shutdowns and extend catalyst life. 

Removing contaminants will help you:

• Minimize environmental concerns and assure plant personnel’s health and safety
• Prevent the deactivation of in-house refinery process catalysts and downstream petrochemical catalysts when using refined products as feedstock
• Meet product specifications
• Maximize profits

You can protect your chloride adsorbent investment with the UOP ChlorideGuard^TM system that can evaluate your treater for better reliability and predictability.

Adsorbents properties:

• High adsorption capacity and long effective adsorbent life
• Ability to attain ultra-low contaminant effluent specification
• Low reactivity, minimized side reactions and reduced coke deposition
• Optimum physical properties (high crush strength, low attrition and the ability to handle process upsets or non-ideal operating conditions)

Contaminants removed:

• H2S
• COS
• CS2
• HCl
• HF
• Hg (elemental mercury)
• AsH3 (arsine)
• PH3 (phosphine)
• Organic chlorides
• Organic fluorides
• Oxygenates (including H2O)
• NH3
• Other nitrogen-based compounds
• Organic sulfur compounds
