Refining
Refinery hydrogen management – the big picture
Hydrogen network operating decisions affect the bottom line every day, but most refineries do not apply the tools that could dramatically increase profitability
Protect desulfurization catalyst with prefiltration systems
Suspended solids in refinery feeds foul critical desulfurization catalysts and heat exchange equipment and rob refiners of potential profits
The ultimate 'clean' fuel – Gas-to-liquid products
New reforming technology enables converting stranded natural gas into low-sulfur syngas
Consider onsite gas supply to meet processing needs
By outsourcing industrial gas sources, refiners can focus resources – capital and manpower – on upgrading crude oil into higher-value products
Noncapital intensive technologies reduce FCC sulfur content – Part 1
Innovative solutions such as catalysts and membranes can be used to navigate the 'roadmap' for clean fuels agenda
HPIn Europe: Refining uncertainty into the future
The refining industry is continuing to endure a tough time and, for the foreseeable future, this picture does not look like changing, certainly in Europe. In addition to the pressures, ..
Trends in catalysis research to meet future refining needs Table 6

What does it take to meet the clean fuels challenge?
Refiners will use more tools other than technology to process clean fuels and be profitable
Consider improved catalyst technologies to remove sulfur
With new catalyst systems, hydroprocessing efforts more efficiently reduce complex sulfur compounds and lower blended fuels’ sulfur content
