Besides reducing mercaptans and improving colour, the process leads to partial removal of sulphur, which is difficult to achieve through conventional methods.
Flexibility with respect to feedstock type Possible to apply reformer off-gas instead of pure hydrogen Possible to revamp existing units for this process The process can be applied for production of premium products
