Raman Analyzers for Hydrotreater Applications

Hydrotreaters play a critical role in refining, removing impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals from various petroleum streams while saturating olefins and aromatics to improve product quality. Effective monitoring of input and output streams in hydrotreater units is essential for maintaining efficiency, protecting downstream equipment, and meeting stringent fuel specifications.

HORIBA Process Raman analyzers are designed to provide real-time, accurate insights into hydrotreater operations. By monitoring key parameters in both input and output streams, Raman technology enables refineries to optimize hydrogen usage, track desulfurization progress, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Schematic representations of typical hydrotreater processes illustrate how HORIBA Raman systems integrate seamlessly with refinery operations. The low standard deviations observed between laboratory results and Raman-predicted values confirm the analyzer's reliability and precision in modeling critical parameters, even in challenging process conditions.
