May 18, 2011 VOL: 2 ISS: | 2011. Refinery OperationsA systematic approach to trouble-shooting Hydrotreater performance provides a methodology for unex-pected problems. Hydrotreaters are looked upon in refinery operations as relatively reliable units. Nonetheless, there are unexpected performance is-sues that occur periodically. For these instances, a methodology has been de-veloped. Various parameters affecting Hydrotreater operation are examined in order to resolve the problem, or at least identify what the problem is so that it won t happen again. The key parameters of feed proper-ties and operating conditions are usu-ally the source of most hydrotreating performance issues, followed by the impact of start-up procedures on unit performance . This is why it is important to maintain good records during startup loading and sulfiding. Record keeping allows for a review and identification of any irregularities during the start-up procedure.
