ABSTRACT
The present work reviews the setting up of a hydrodesulphurization unit for petroleum naphtha.
Estimating all the properties of the given petroleum fraction including its density, viscosity and other
parameters. The process flow sheet which gives the idea of necessary equipment to be installed, then
performing all material and energy balance calculations along with chemical and mechanical design for
the entire setup taking into account every instrument considered. The purpose of this review paper takes
involves an industrial process, a catalytic chemical process widely used to remove sulfur (S)
from naphtha.
