Careers Restore Hydrotreater Efficiency and Reduce Emissions
Hydrotreaters play a crucial role in petroleum refining, removing impurities and upgrading the quality of fuels and other products. However, factors like aging equipment, suboptimal heat transfer, and operational constraints can compromise hydrotreater efficiency, leading to higher fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs.
IGS offers proven solutions to optimize hydrotreater performance and deliver substantial operational and environmental benefits. Our advanced technologies and applications can help you:
- Increase thermal efficiency: Improve radiant heat transfer and overall energy efficiency through advanced coating systems.
- Boost capacity: Enhance processing capabilities by debottlenecking and optimizing hydrotreater operations.
- Reduce emissions: Lower fuel consumption, CO2, and NOx emissions to meet sustainability goals and environmental regulations.
- Extend equipment life: Protect critical components from corrosion and fouling, reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
Case Study: Hydrotreater Efficiency Increase During Turnaround
In a recent turnaround project, IGS helped a refinery tackle a unique challenge with its hydrotreater’s distinctive convection section configuration. By applying our high-emissivity ceramic coating technology, we were able to optimize radiant heat transfer and unlock significant performance improvements:
- 1.9% reduction in fuel consumption
- 1.9% decrease in CO2 emissions
- 4.1% reduction in NOx emissions
This case study demonstrates the tangible benefits our solutions can deliver, helping refineries boost efficiency, increase capacity, and reduce their environmental footprint.
