Some main features of new generations of the POLF (presaturated-one-liquid-flow) technology developed originally in Russia (1995) with respect to hydrotreating are considered. It is shown a possibility of the construction and upgrading of hydrodesulfurization facilities with the purposes of decreasing the investment and operating costs, improving the process performance and safety.
