Evaluation of guard bed materials for hydrofinishing used lube oils
The objective of this study was to survey several types of guard bed materials for their use in hydrotreating used motor oils. The feedstock originated from numerous automobile drainings and was first reclaimed at the National Institute of Petroleum and Energy Research. The effectiveness of the four different guard bed materials was determined by studying product, guard bed and catalyst properties. The candidate guard bed materials were all tested in experiments using a commercial hydrotreating catalyst in a standard, packed bed reactor. A temperature of 325/sup 0/C (617/sup 0/F), a pressure of 4583 kPa (665 psi), a liquid hourly space velocity of 1 h/sup -1/, and hydrogen flow rate of 748 std. m/sup 3//m/sup 3/ of oil (4200 SCF/BBL) were maintained throughout each of the experimental runs.
