Abstract
A process for starting up a hydrotreating process using a bulk metal catalyst. The process comprises the steps of providing a hydrocarbon feed stream containing less than 100 ppmw nitrogen containing species; and adding a nitrogen-containing compound to the hydrocarbon feed stream followed by contacting the resulting feed stream with the bulk metal catalyst in the presence of hydrogen and a sulfur-containing species.
