IMP Develops Catalyst Adsorbent Material that Could Help Eliminate Organic Nitrogen Compounds in Crude Oil

The Mexican Oil Institute (IMP) developed a catalyst adsorbent material that removes 80 percent of organic compounds from hydrocarbon charges before starting the process of hydrodesulfurization (sulfur removing from the hydrocarbon). It also allows Pemex (Mexican Oil Company) to generate ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) more quickly and cheaply.
