Technology Type

The most common Steam Cracker Selective Hydrogenation applications include Acetylenes/Diolefins removal form C₂'s and C₃'s, Vinyl Acetylene and Butadiene Removal from C₄'s and Diolefin Removal from C₅+ Pyrolysis Liquids. 

In the Petroleum Refining industry where gross Hydroprocessing is practised to make cleaner Fuels, the most common Selective Hydrogenation applications are for the removal of Diolefins from either a C₄ or C₅ Olefin stream.
