Help react to regulatory changes with a diesel hydrotreater revamp

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

Today’s regulatory requirements and refining challenges

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

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

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

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

With a revamp, refiners can potentially:

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

What you’ll learn from the revamp scenario report:

Low-capital revamp opportunities to help unlock high returns quickly:

• Conduct risk assessments, such as safeguarding and corrosion reviews
• Adapt existing assets to produce renewable diesel
• Enable high diesel yields with dewaxing strategies
