Application: The Snamprogetti dimerization/hydrogenation technology is used to produce isooctene/isooctane—high-octane compounds (rich in C8 ) for gasoline blending. Feed: C4 streams from steam cracker, fluid…

Application: New processes, RHT-isooctene and RHT-isooctane, can be used to revamp existing MTBE units to isooctene/isooctane production. Feeds include C4 iso-olefin feed from FCC, steam…

Application: Conversion of isobutylene contained in mixed-C4 feeds to isooctane (2,2,4 tri-methyl pentane) to produce a high-quality gasoline blendstock. The full-range of C4 feeds can…

Application: The widely used UOP Butamer process is a high-efficiency, cost effective means of meeting the demands for the production of isobutane by isomerizing normal…

Application: Most of the implemented legislation requires limiting benzene concentration in the gasoline pool. This has increased the demand for high-performance C5 and C6 naphtha…

Application: The UOP Par-Isom process is an innovative application using high-performance nonchlorided-alumina catalysts for light-naphtha isomerization. The process uses PI-242 catalyst, which approaches the activity…

Application: For more refiners, the issue of benzene in the gasoline pool is one of managing benzene production from the catalytic reformer. The two primary…

Application: Convert normal olefins to isoolefins. Description: C4 olefin skeletal isomerization (IsomPlus) A zeolite-based catalyst especially developed for this process provides near equilibrium conversion of…

Application: C5 /C6 paraffin-rich hydrocarbon streams are isomerized to produce high RON and MON product suitable for addition to the gasoline pool. Description: Several variations…

Application: Upgrade and/or convert atmospheric and vacuum residues using the Hyvahl fixed-bed process. Products: Low-sulfur fuels (0.3% to 1.0% sulfur) and RFCC feeds (removal of…
