What is olefin saturation?

Olefin Saturation is a chemical process, often used in the petrochemical industry to refine olefins (also known as alkenes) and to turn them into paraffins (also known as alkanes). The process is done by adding hydrogen gas to the heated liquid olefin. This breaks the carbon to carbon double bond of the olefin by forming a new molecule with extra hydrogen.
