Overview Applications Resources CONTACT US Reliable Gas Supply for Your Refinery Needs Hydrogen is widely used in refining processes to remove impurities found in crude oil such as sulfur to meet stringent product and environmental specifications. Removing these components allows gasoline and diesel to burn cleaner and thus makes hydrogen a critical component in the production of cleaner fuels needed by efficient internal combustion engines. Oxygen enrichment can help increase capacity or give refiners the ability to process crude blends of various densities and sulfur content. Nitrogen does not react with most materials, making it an excellent blanketing and purging gas that can be used to protect valuable products from harmful contaminants. One of its most important uses is to eliminate flammability risks in reactor vessels and storage tanks. Applications Catalyst Regeneration Hydrogen and nitrogen are widely used in the process of renewing a catalyst or making it reusable after it has accumulated reaction residues such as ... Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Optimization Air Products provides complete technical and project support for implementation of FCC oxygen enrichment to boost FCC capacity. Hydrogen Recovery for Industrial Applications Hydrogen Recovery for Refineries, Ammonia Synthesis, and Petrochemical Plants Hydroprocessing Hydroprocessing in the oil refining industry includes a series of chemical reactions such as hydrogenation, hydrocracking and hydrotreating.
