lhydrotraitement
L'hydrotraitement is a chemical process used to remove impurities from various substances, primarily in the context of oil refining and petrochemical industries. The term "hydro" refers to the use of hydrogen, and "traitement" means treatment. The process involves the reaction of a substance with hydrogen under high pressure and temperature, often in the presence of a catalyst. This method is effective in removing sulfur, nitrogen, and other impurities from petroleum products, thereby improving their quality and reducing environmental impact.
The hydrotreatment process typically occurs in a reactor where the feedstock, such as crude oil or its
The primary goal of hydrotreatment is to produce cleaner fuels with lower sulfur content, which is crucial
However, the hydrotreatment process requires significant energy input due to the high temperatures and pressures involved.
