How Diesel Hydrotreater Revamps Help Refiners Stay Profitable and Compliant

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.

• Dewaxing strategies: Compare first- and second-stage options to cut additive costs; second-stage configurations can enable high diesel yields.
• Vegetable oil co-processing: See how refiners can adapt existing assets to produce renewable diesel (HVO), with risk-mitigation and pre-treatment considerations.
• Risk mitigation best practices: Safeguarding, corrosion, and catalyst strategies to promote a safe, profitable operation.
• Real-world results: A European refinery saw up to $15 million/year margin benefit with under six months payback

Potential benefits of a diesel hydrotreater revamp

• Increase profitability without major capital investment
• Maintain cycle length while addressing operational bottlenecks
• Meet evolving emissions and renewable regulations
• Adapt yields to shifting market demand
