Why is IsoThermingSM typically cheaper than alternative technologies?
The IsoThermingSM process can be built independently as a pretreat unit for a conventional hydrotreater. This allows the IsoThermingSM unit to be a high pressure unit with smaller reactors and no recycle gas compressors. Also, there is no need to change out the existing unit for higher pressures and mass loadings often required when revamping a conventional unit. In a grassroots unit, the multiple IsoThermingSM reactors would be expected to typically cost less than some high pressure trickle bed reactors with the accompanying recycle gas circuit. IsoThermingSM as a pretreat unit in a grassroots hydrotreater may also be the most viable processing option. The IsoThermingSM process has a cost advantage in most applications.
