Heavy, Sour Upgrading Sulfur & Nitrogen Polishing Naphthenic Acid Reduction
More and more crudes are being discounted by high sulfur levels, high viscosity, high nitrogen levels and high acidity. FlexUP™ can improve the overall quality of your crude oil cost effectively and improve your operating margins.

FlexUP
Many lighter streams contain sulfur levels that are marginally out of spec compared to valuable benchmarks. FlexULS provides a cost effective sulfur and nitrogen removal process that improves your assay quality. Petrochemical manufacturers, pipeline operators with transmix issues and hydrogen constrained refiners can use FlexULS to efficiently upgrade qualities of low value feeds.

FlexULS
Naphthenic acid (NA) creates problems for pipeline operators and refiners and consequently receives discounts to benchmarks. TANFree is a process that removes NA using a simple and cost effective process. Low capital and operating costs ensure that eliminating modest discounts still provides an attractive return on investment.
