Hydrotrating: Light or Intermediate Cuts - High Impurities Content Hydrotreated Cut

The document describes the hydrotreating process, which uses hydrogen gas to remove impurities like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen from hydrocarbon feeds. The process involves feeding a light or intermediate hydrocarbon cut into a reactor along with hydrogen gas. Inside the reactor at high temperature and pressure, hydrogen reacts with impurities to form hydrogen sulfide and other byproducts. The hydrotreated product stream exits with lower impurity levels than the feed.
