The crude distillation unit (CDU) is the primary processing unit in virtually all petroleum refineries. The CDU distils the incoming crude condensate into varied fractions of various boiling ranges, each of that are then processed additional in the other refinery processing models.

LPG Recovery Unit (LRU)

Gaseous streams containing LPG (liquefied petroleum gases: Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane occur naturally in pure gasoline and crude oil answer gas, and also as by-merchandise of a variety of refinery processes (fuel fractionation models for instance).

The aim of an LPG unit is to course of mild hydrocarbons (C1-C5) into economically beneficial part streams.

LPG Treating Unit (LTU)

LPG Treating is a course of for extraction and removal of mercaptans from liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), such as propane, butanes and mixtures of propane and butanes.

The Sulfrex course of is an Extractive Sulfur Removing course of which eliminates H2S in a primary step and extracts mercaptans (RSH) and COS in a second step.

The main benefits of Sulfrex are to

Naphtha Hydrotreating (NHT)

Naphtha Hydrotreating is a necessary step for refiners to supply cleaner gasoline from completely different feedstocks: straight run, condensate, cracked naphtha feedstocks (coker, VB, cracked catalytic naphtha).
The Naphtha Hydrotreating course of is also necessary to pretreat naphtha for downstream models, like paraffin isomerization and catalytic reforming, where extreme specifications are required and catalysts used are very delicate to impurities. The objective is to scale back sulfur and nitrogen contents (lower than zero.5 weight ppm), but additionally olefins (less than zero.1 weight percent).

Naphtha Splitter

The naphtha splitter receives its feedstock as Full Vary Naphthas (FRN) generated from the CDU overheads programs or from storage. The FRN first passes by a filter /coalescer vessel for elimination of hint free waters, and is then preheated towards the naphtha splitter column overheads stream.
