How diesel hydrotreater revamps help refiners stay profitable and compliant

Hydrotreating_scenario

See how refiners are adapting existing hydrotreaters to enhance margin, meet regulations, and advance renewable goals, all at a relatively low cost.

Today’s refining challenges

Margins are under pressure. Fuel demand patterns are evolving. And ultra-low sulfur diesel and renewable mandates are tightening globally.

For many refiners, the cost of waiting could be high:

  • Sustained suboptimal unit performance when operating off-design
  • Risk of falling short on emissions and fuel quality standards
  • Missed opportunities to tap into the growing renewable diesel market

A diesel hydrotreater revamp offers a relatively low-capex path to solving today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s.

With a revamp, refiners can potentially increase profitability without major capital investment, maintain cycle length, address operational bottlenecks, meet evolving emissions and renewable regulations and adapt yields to shifting demand.
