Tips & Tricks for Mitigating Threats to Hydroprocessing Exchanger Health Pt. 2
Hydroprocessing
Operational case studies of DHT, GOHT, and NHT feed /effluent exchanger threats are presented with monitoring, reliability, and chemical addition strategies. Mitigating threats of feed side and effluent side fouling and corrosion over time also requires sustaining institutional knowledge through constant change of stream composition, temperatures, AND people. This presentation includes tips and tricks of templated calculations, use of Decision Support Tools, industry knowledge, vendor relationships and support, and cross-site sharing of findings.

Hydroprocessing 101: Catalyst Poisoning
Hydroprocessing
Facilitator:
Sergio Robledo, Unicat Catalyst Technologies
Speakers:
Adrian Azpilicueta, Nalco Water
Steve Mayo, Eurecat U.S. Incorporated
Montri Vichailak, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
This session will cover the sources, mechanisms, and mitigations of common inorganic poisons of hydroprocessing catalysts. First, we will cover the main types of poisons encountered in hydroprocessing units and their sources. Next the three main poisoning mechanisms will be reviewed along with the severity of poisoning and catalyst mitigations to extend cycle. After that we will consider mitigations upstream of the hydrotreater to extend cycle life. Finally, a refinery case study will be presented demonstrating a process of extending cycle length in a hydrotreater with feedstock poisons.
