6. Numerical application

A numerical application on the example of hydrotreating a sulfurized gas oil is detailed by Trambouze and Euzen . We treat an example under similar conditions, to illustrate the various concepts and correlations presented.

Consider the desulfurization of a diesel fuel loaded with 1% sulfur by mass. A charge of 5.4 × 10 ⁴ kg · h ^–1 is to be treated, and it is assumed that each molecule of sulfur-containing gas oil contains a single sulfur atom. The feedstock is treated with hydrogen in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor operating at cocurrent...
