Hydrogen for Oil Refining Better with On-site Generation
Hydrogen for Oil Refining Better with On-site Generation Hydrogen is used in oil refining since decades. The main objective of hydrogen is to lower the sulfur content of gasoline and diesel fuels. But as the number of cars increases globally every year, so does the demand for diesel and gasoline, both domestically and internationally, and resultantly the refinery demand for hydrogen. Hydrogen generators and hydrogen plants provide a simple solution by eliminating the need to buy hydrogen cylinders from industrial suppliers and providing uninterrupted onsite hydrogen generation and supply. What’s unfortunate is that more of hydrogen use at refineries is still being met through hydrogen cylinders purchased from merchant suppliers rather than from increased hydrogen production on-site at the refinery. This looks like a blatant waste of the opportunity that only oil refineries and diesel/gasoline manufacturers have. Natural gas is used almost exclusively as feedstock fo...
