When using PROII to simulate oil refining units, such as in hydrorefining, how should the sulfur content and nitrogen content be entered?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: when simulating an oil refining plant, for example in the case of hydrorefining, once the distillation data of the oil product, as well as its API value and sulfur and nitrogen contents are available, how should sulfur and nitrogen levels be entered?
It’s okay to input from the lightweight components, right? . . It’s okay; come by more often

It can be fed in from the light components, or another stream can be added to supply the sulfur and nitrogen compounds you need, after which it is combined with the oil stream.

Reply to 6# lbaizyh: It depends on the purpose of your reactor block. If you want to calculate the size of the reactor, you can choose the component that reacts most difficultly (GC-MS is required); such calculation needs are very rare. If it’s to determine the heat of reaction, then use the actual measured data – there’s no need to enter anything
