Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Production (Hydrotreating Unit)
This report provides a techno-economic analysis of Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) production via a hydrotreating process in the United States. In this process, a high-sulfur diesel feed is passed through a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, where sulfur and nitrogen impurities are reacted with hydrogen and converted into hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The reactor effluent is then subjected to a sequence of separation steps, so that Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (10 ppm sulfur) is obtained as the final product.

Very-Low Sulfur Diesel Production (Hydrotreating Unit)
This report approaches an economic analysis for Very-Low Sulfur Diesel (VLSD) production via a hydrotreating process in the United States. In this process, a high-sulfur diesel feed is passed through a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, where sulfur and nitrogen impurities are reacted with hydrogen and converted into hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The reactor effluent is then subjected to a sequence of separation steps, so that Very-Low Sulfur Diesel (50 ppm sulfur) is obtained as the final product.

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Production from Low Sulfur Diesel (S Zorb)
This report presents a techno-economic analysis of Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) production via the sulfur removal of a low-sulfur diesel feed by means of a reactive adsorption process similar the S Zorb technology (originally developed by ConocoPhillips). The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
