IsoTherming Advantages
Recycle of hydrogen accomplished by liquid recycle Elimination of Recycle Gas equipment in Grassroots Units Catalyst bed completely wetted 1) All catalyst sites utilized More effective use of catalyst 2) Minimizes hot spot formation Decreased catalyst deactivation / coking / thermal cracking Decreased light end formation Increased liquid yield 3) Heat of Reaction Absorbed by High Liquid Recycle Rate Adiabatic temperature rise less than conventional technology Reactor temperature rise tends toward isothermal operation Lower heater firing rates in normal operation

IsoTherming Advantages
Flexibility in reactor shape L/D and bed depth not dependent on two phase flow regime Reactor Fabrication Often, reactor diameter and wall thickness can be minimized to allow use of cold-rolled plate instead of forged plate Reactor design can be optimized for local fabricator capabilities and transportation logistics Projects not dependent on just a few fabricators worldwide Shorter reactor delivery time possible Can be optimized based on fabricators capabilities Plot plan will be smaller than conventional Heat integration may lead to smaller carbon/GHG footprint

Unique Advantage of Kerosene IsoTherming

Refiners are often in a dilemma over selection of Kerosene Sweetening over Hydrotreating. Due to lower capital /operating cost advantages, highly inflexible sweetening units are often selected. With Sweetening option, Refinery lose the flexibility of producing superior Aviation Fuel and blend component to ULSD (for cetane, cold flow properties etc.). With Kerosene IsoTherming advantages can be further enhanced: Typical KHT can be designed without Reactor Recycle Pump. Depending on refinery configuration/hydrogen recovery requirements unit can be designed with one separator or without separator. Due to the above reasons there will be substantial capital cost and operating cost benefit (>50%) when compared to conventional trickle bed configuration. This makes IsoTherming KHT an attractive alternative to refineries when compared to cheap but inflexible Sweetening units.
