DESULPHURISATION

摘要

Desulphurisation of a hydrocarbon feedstock by subjecting a portion of said feedstock to a pre-treatment step of partial oxidation, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, or adiabatic low temperature catalytic steam reforming, thereby forming a gas stream containing hydrogen, and then passing the resultant hydrogen-containing pre-treated gas stream, together with the remainder, of said hydrocarbon feedstock, through a bed of a hydro-desulphurisation catalyst and then through a bed of a particulated absorbent capable of absorbing hydrogen sulphide.
