Abstract : This study compares the performance and economic viability of two different sulphur removal methods from crude oil, namely, hydrodesulphurization (HDS) and oxidative desulphurization (ODS) processes.However, both methods were equally effective in removing other sulphur compounds such as B and P- Disulphide, and Thiophene. Economic comparison suggests that ODS is a more cost-effective process compared to HDS. The study highlights the importance of considering various factors, including crude oil composition, required degree of desulphurization, and environmental regulations, in choosing the appropriate sulphur removal method. Overall, the study concludes that both HDS and ODS are effective methods for removing sulphur-containing compounds from crude oil, and the choice of method depends on specific application requirements and environmental considerations.

Keywords : Hydrodesulphurization, Oxidative- Desulphurization, Crude Oil, Sulphur, Aspen Hysys and Modular Refinery.
