HYDRO DE-SULPHURISATION OF NAPHTHA SECTION

This unit is an oil-processing Unit where the sulphur content is reduced from 1500 ppm to 0.5 ppm based on IIP-IFP
Process. I have the operating experience of this unit, where we have two natural draft FIRED HEATERS fuelled by fuel gas
and naphtha using dual burners COMOX-ZnO catalyst reactors, Two reciprocating Hydrogen Compressors, Stripping
Column and necessary pumps and heat exchangers. The desulphurised naphtha is called as sweet naphtha which stored in
the respective tank for the supply to reforming section.



Fired heaters (Naphtha vaporizer):
This vaporizer contains two natural draft fired heaters fuelled by fuel gas and Naphtha using 4 AIROIL burners each. The
furnace is refractory lined. Flame is sensed by two flame scanners and the skin temperatures of the radiation coils are
measured. Each burner is fixed with an igniter for the light up. Remote fuel isolation valve is given for the safety measure.

Reactor:
The COMOX catalyst reactor is operated at 350C at 21 KSG pres. Over the COMOX CATALYST Alumina balls are packed
to avoid the direct impingement of the gas over the naphtha feed and H2S is formed in this vessel. Six thermocouples were
installed along the catalyst bed to monitor the bed temperatures. COMOX - ZnO reactor operates at 400C at 42KSC
pressure.

Stripping column:
The Stripper is a separating column which strips out H2S which is in dissolved state in naphtha. It is having reboiler at t he
bottom and reflux unit with condenser at the top.It contains 30 ballast type single pass trays where feed enters at the 21st
tray from the bottom. The sour gas at the top is used for firing in the fired burners, through pressure control valve. This
stripping column operates at a pressure of 14.2 KSC.
