Effect of Operating Conditions on Aromatic Content at Basrah Crude Oil Hydrotreating
Main Article Content
Abstract
In Trickle Bed Reactor Basrah crude oil was hydrotreated using a common hydrotreating catalyst (Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3) . The operating conditions of this treating was, temperature (600 – 675 K) , Liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) (0.6 – 1.9 hr-1) , constant pressure (3 Mpa) and H2/Oil ratio 300 L/L were performed. Experiments results show that aromatic content was reduced as temperature increases and LHSV decreases, as well as the aromatic saturation were greatly enhanced at the same condition .
