1.
Special catalysts are applied under mild operating conditions of low pressure, low reaction temperature and H2/oil ratio, high LHSV with low hydrogen consumption.
2.
The process can be applied for straight-run jet fuel feeds with different sulfur levels.
3.
The on-spec product keeps the merits of the straight run distillate feedstocks. This advanced, mature and reliable process can reduce mercaptan-sulfur level to as low as 10 μg/g with the improvement of color/odor and the decrease of acid value, while keeping the merits of the kerosene feedstock.
4.
The first cycle length of the main catalyst is 3-5 years and total service life is more than 9 years with regenerations in between.
