Partial/Complete Hydrogenation
Delivering efficient, selective, and scalable hydrogenation solutions for complex industrial feedstocks.
Hydrogenation is a critical process in refining, petrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors. Whether you require selective hydrogenation of olefins or complete saturation of complex hydrocarbons, we provide optimized catalytic systems and reactor design to meet your production targets with high efficiency and purity.
Key Offerings & Technical Focus
Selective (Partial) Hydrogenation
Controlled Saturation
Tailored hydrogenation of diolefins (e.g., butadiene, isoprene) to mono-olefins to avoid over-saturation.
Prevent Polymer Fouling
Reduction of trace unsaturates (alkynes, dienes) to prevent polymerization and fouling in downstream units.
Precise Reaction Contro
High selectivity catalysts with precise control of pressure, temperature, and LHSV.
Complete Hydrogenation
Controlled Saturation
Full saturation of aromatic, olefinic, or acetylenic compounds in feedstocks like pyrolysis gasoline, reformates, and cracked naphtha.
Spec-Driven Hydrogenation
Processes designed to meet stringent product specs such as sulfur-free diesel, aromatics-free fuels, and food/pharma-grade hydrogenated oils.
Stable Catalyst Bed Design
Industrial-scale reactors and catalyst beds engineered for stable, long-cycle operations.
Hydrotreating & Hydrogen Management
Our process design includes seamless integration with advanced hydroprocessing units such as Hydrodesulfurization (HDS), Hydrodearomatization (HDA), and Hydrocracking systems. These integrations are carefully engineered to enhance feedstock quality and ensure compliance with stringent environmental standards. A key focus is placed on optimizing hydrogen utilization to achieve high conversion efficiency while minimizing hydrogen losses. This is achieved through the strategic implementation of recycle hydrogen systems and advanced gas-liquid separation techniques, which improve process reliability and reduce operational costs. Our approach not only maximizes product yield and purity but also supports sustainable and energy-efficient operations.
Process Design & Engineering
We offer custom reactor configurations tailored to the specific characteristics of the feedstock and desired throughput. Depending on the application, we design and deploy fixed-bed, trickle-bed, or slurry-phase reactors to ensure optimal contact between reactants and catalysts, thereby maximizing process efficiency. Catalyst selection is carried out with a deep understanding of feed composition, required product selectivity, and resistance to common catalyst poisons such as sulfur, nitrogen compounds, and heavy metals. To further enhance process efficiency and operational stability, we implement robust heat integration strategies and maintain precise hydrogen balance control throughout the system. In addition, we provide full scale-up support, guiding our clients from laboratory-scale and pilot plant development to fully integrated commercial units.
