    As we discussed, since disulfide feed issue happed in DHDS as hot feed and caustic accumulate in Disulfide wash oil,
    DHDS stopped taking as hot feed and routed to LCO tank.
    For the case which you mention in below mail it should be as hot feed which is not acceptable to DHDS to avoid catalyst fouling.

    I am glad I sat down uninterrupted to take this course.
    It gave me an insight to mistakes I have made and I am hoping to use this to effectively communicate better professionally.
    After sitting here taking the entire course at once, I plan to review this in my spare time so I can stay refreshed.
