Introduction
Hydrogen plays very important role in oil refining to eliminate by hydrotreating unwanted constituents as sulfur, nitrogen, aromatic compounds from products as requested by new regulations. Also, heavy oil needs to be further processed to obtain light oil products by hydrocracking.

Grand composite curve for actual hidrogen consumption Grand composite curve for minimum hidrogen consumption
Hydrogen production is very expensive process . Production of hydrogen is associated with production of pollutanats as by-products. In this context management of hydorgen is a crucial problem in oil refinry optimisation. Adapting to new challenges often presents unprofitable choices: Investing in new processing capacity Importing more expensive crude Loosing yield on valuable products
