Fast Facts
About onshore products
-
Hydrogen: hydrogen is widely used in petroleum refining
processes to remove impurities found in crude oil such as
sulfur, olefins and aromatics to meet the product fuels
specifications. Removing these components allows gasoline and
diesel to burn cleaner and thus makes hydrogen a critical
component in the production of cleaner fuels needed by modern,
efficient internal combustion engines.
-
Reformer: a reformer (also called steam reformer or steam
methane reformer) is a widely used industrial processing device
in which a fossil fuel reacts with steam at high temperatures in
the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen.
