Feed to the catalytic unit

For feedstocks that are a mixture of wax oil hydrogenated product and residue oil hydrogenated product, the reagent consumption is very low, at 0.6–0.7 kg per ton of raw material.

Seeing that you’ve asked so many very basic questions, it seems the original poster is a newcomer to catalysis. Catalysis includes wax oil catalysis and heavy oil catalysis; whether hydrogenation is required generally depends mainly on the sulfur content of the feedstock. Generally speaking, the catalyst consumption for heavy oil catalysis is higher than that for wax oil catalysis; however, even within the category of heavy oil catalysis, different catalyst consumptions occur depending on the properties of the raw material

I’d like to learn more from everyone. What I want to know is what the specific catalyst consumption is for hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated feedstocks, as well as for heavy oil catalysis and wax oil catalysis, and what the difference between these values is

There are also many factors that influence the specific consumption of catalysts, ignoring all other influencing factors! Relatively speaking, the catalyst consumption per unit volume is generally higher in heavy oil catalysis compared to wax oil catalysis. When our plant used wax oil catalysis, the catalyst consumption was around 0.6; after switching to heavy oil catalysis, it reached a maximum of 0.78, while at times it was as high as 1.2! In terms of raw materials, currently most are used for catalytic processes; there aren’t many used in full hydrogenation processes – essentially, they are mainly used in blended formulations! Relatively speaking, it is easier to control the operation and there is better stability; the properties of the raw materials remain more consistent, with no significant layering occurring. Therefore, the catalyst consumption should be lower compared to when no blending takes place! (Although it hasn’t been calculated specifically, it should be possible to sense it through the operation.) ）

I feel that the questions from refinery workers might be quite casual in tone, but to assume they are simple questions just because of that is a bit much; calling them beginners is an overreaction. At least, in my opinion, he knows all of this completely; it’s just that his way of expressing it isn’t very standard!

A high IQ is good, but an emotional intelligence level that’s high as well is necessary, bro;P
