Abstract

The present invention provides a process for reducing the sulphur content of a liquid hydrocarbon feed comprising organic sulphur species wherein said process comprises a) contacting the liquid hydrocarbon feed comprising organic sulphur species with a hydrogen containing gas stream to produce a liquid hydrocarbon feed comprising organic sulphur species and an increased hydrogen content b) contacting the liquid hydrocarbon feed comprising organic sulphur species and an increased hydrogen content with a catalyst at elevated temperature and pressure in a reaction zone to generate a liquid hydrocarbon feed with a decreased organic sulphur species content and an increased hydrogen sulphide content c) passing the liquid hydrocarbon feed with a decreased organic sulphur species content and an increased hydrogen sulphide content to a hydrogen sulphide removal zone to produce a liquid hydrocarbon feed with a decreased organic sulphur species content and decreased hydrogen sulphide content.
