Abstract

Diesel gas oil feedstock with 1-3 wt % sulfur can be hydrodesulfurized to a diesel gas oil with 0.05 wt % or less sulfur and a Saybolt color of +20 or higher, by defining a hydrogenation region in a fixed bed reactor with a first hydrogenation zone for dibenzothiophene, 1-, 2- and 3-methyldibenzothiophenes, a second hydrogenation zone for 4-methyldibenzothiophene and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene and a third hydrogenation zone for thiols, sulfides and other sulfur-containing substances.
