Q & A > Question Details
We are looking for a chemical which can be used for removing Ni and V and also Fe from our hydrocracker unit feed (MVGO+LLC) by injection it to feed.
Also we think it is possible to eliminate these metals from crude oil source by adding chemicals to crude oil and removing metals in desalters.
Can anyone help us?

Depending on the form the Fe is in it can be removed in the desalter using special additives. Unfortunately it is not possible to remove the V and Ni at this time.
