ABSTRACT:
A unit for hydrorefining of hydrocarbon crude oil comprising sulfur-containing compounds comprises first catalyst layer33and second catalyst layer38, top space34for separating vapor component and liquid component, bottom space36, and valve tray35that divides top space34and bottom space36. Hydrogen released from hydrogen nozzle40placed in the bottom space is passed through liquid component that has accumulated in the valve tray and stripping of liquid components is performed. Hydrogen released from hydrogen nozzle40is again introduced, to second catalyst layer38as a cocurrent with the stripped liquid component. By stripping, it is possible to reduce the sulfur content, the nitrogen content and reduce the aromatic content of the hydrocarbon crude oil when compared to the conventional method. Since the hydrorefining unit has a simple structure, the unit can be easily made by modifying existing units.
