Digital Exclusive: Are you overlooking an easier sulfiding solution? http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2026/01/digital-exclusive-are-you-overlooking-an-easier-sulfiding-solution/ Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) has long been the default choice of sulfiding agents in hydroprocessing catalysts, even though its inherent hazards can pose major operational challenges. However, for refiners, there is a better way. Digital Exclusive: Simulating the amine treatment of hydrocarbon liquids http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/07/digital-exclusive-simulating-the-amine-treatment-of-hydrocarbon-liquids/ Liquid extraction in the refining and natural gas industries is used for aromatics removal from reformates and pyrolysis gasolines in refineries and from engine lubricating oils in lube oil plants, as well as the removal of sulfur compounds, mainly hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbonyl sulfide (COS) and mercaptans from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas liquids (NGLs). bp-chartered tanker leaves port of Nayara Energy without loading diesel http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/07/bp-chartered-tanker-leaves-port-of-nayara-energy-without-loading-diesel/ Oil tanker Talara, chartered by energy major bp, has left the Vadinar port of Indian refiner Nayara Energy without loading diesel as planned Asia's fuel oil imports from Iraq hit 4-month high in May http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/06/asias-fuel-oil-imports-from-iraq-hit-4-month-high-in-may/ Asia's fuel oil imports from Iraq hit a four-month high in May as strong refining margins boosted output and exports from the Middle Eastern supplier. AMETEK Process Instruments and Worley Comprimo to deliver fully automated technology solution for sulfur recovery stakeholders http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/05/ametek-process-instruments-and-worley-comprimo-to-deliver-fully-automated-technology-solution-for-sulfur-recovery-stakeholders/ A newly formed partnership between AMETEK Process Instruments and Worley Comprimo, part of Worley’s Technology Solutions, provides sulfur recovery unit (SRU) stakeholders with critical analytical measurements combined with advanced burner control technology to deliver enhanced automated air control management. New Mediterranean IMO fuel rule helps bring more Doba crude to Europe http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/05/new-mediterranean-imo-fuel-rule-helps-bring-more-doba-crude-to-europe/ Dutch and German oil refineries have snapped up all four cargoes of Chadian Doba crude in April to profit from soaring demand for cleaner marine fuel in Europe from shipping companies including Maersk. Heavy, sweet Doba grade is particularly suitable for making ultra-low sulfur fuel oil (ULSFO) with a maximum sulfur content of 0.1%. Asia spot diesel discounts narrow amid tightened supply http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/asia-spot-diesel-discounts-narrow-amid-tightened-supply/ Northeast Asian refiners sold November-loading ultra low-sulfur diesel at the narrowest discounts since the start of the year as supply has tightened due to lower regional output. Update: U.S. crude oil inventories rise as refining activity dips http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/update-us-crude-oil-inventories-rise-as-refining-activity-dips/ U.S. crude oil inventories rose last week as refinery utilization rates fell amid weakening fuel demand.
