Cost of hydrogenation for gasoline and diesel
Thread Content
I am currently working on a document and need to know the approximate cost of hydrogenation for 1 ton of gasoline and diesel. Assumption: The factory already has a complete hydrogenation facility; only the direct production costs (various expenses incurred) are considered, with no account taken of fixed assets, labor wages, etc. Thank you!
Let’s take this question a step further. Seeking help from friends in the refinery industry!
Does the OP account for hydrogen consumption? To calculate the hydrogen consumption, the actual hydrogen usage amount must be provided in order to determine the cost
Power and water consumption are typically taken into account in the design; if not, they can be estimated based on the power consumption of the electrical equipment. The same applies to water consumption. The other costs relate to auxiliary materials such as lean amine solution and steam
It depends on the process used for hydrogen production; if the raw materials for producing hydrogen are inexpensive, the cost will be low. At present, the hydrogen production rate from methanol is around 400 to 500
Thank you so much for your participation! The hydrogen consumption should be taken into account, but I’m not aware of the cost of hydrogen; mainly because what I want to know are the approximate costs of processing 1 ton of gasoline or diesel using existing facilities.
My original idea was that, for the mainstream hydrogenation processes used in China, the hydrogenation costs for gasoline and diesel should be fairly similar, with the deviation being within 20%.
Consider using existing equipment; that’s a rough estimate of the cost.
Typical processing cost for conventional gasoline hydrogenation (catalytic gasoline hydrogenation): 100–120 yuan； Hydroprocessing cost for low-quality gasoline: 150-200 yuan ； Typical cost for conventional diesel hydrorefining: 150-250 yuan ； Processing cost for diesel hydroprocessing: 300–500 yuan; processing cost for coal-based oil hydrocracking: 500–800 yuan
It mainly depends on hydrogen production; it’s roughly 150-200 per ton. If hydrogen is produced through methane cracking, the cost doubles
