This patented technology uses low-sulfur, H2-rich refinery blendstocks like straight-run gasoline, isomerates, alkylate, butanes and renewable naphtha in gasoline blends, and adds aromatic amines (a high-octane gasoline additive) to make a drop-in specification gasoline. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/june-2024/special-focus-process-optimization/amine-strength-in-gas-treatment/ Tail gas treating units (TGTUs) are designed to remove the last vestiges of unconverted hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the tail gas coming from a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) after the gas has been processed to convert as much H₂S as possible to elemental sulfur. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/05/indian-refiner-reliance-to-buy-russian-oil-in-roubles/ India's Reliance Industries Ltd., operator of the world's biggest refining complex, has signed a 1-yr deal with Russia's Rosneft to buy at least 3 MMbbls of oil/month in roubles. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/05/belgium-tightens-fuel-export-specifications/ The Belgian government plans to publish a royal decree that tightens the minimum specifications of motor fuel exports quality. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/05/russias-tuapse-oil-refinery-resumes-operations-after-attack/ Rosneft's Black Sea oil refinery in Tuapse resumed operations on Sunday after a drone attack. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/04/merichem-technologies-enhances-sulfur-treatment-capabilities-with-acquisition-of-chemical-products-industries/ Merichem Technologies, a portfolio company of Black Bay Energy Capital, has closed its acquisition of Chemical Products Industries (CPI), a provider of novel chemistries for sulfur removal and industrial cleaning applications. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/04/uaes-fujairah-march-marine-bunker-sales-hit-highest-in-more-than-a-year/ Marine bunker fuel sales at the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah port hit their highest in more than a year in March 2024, buoyed by firmer global refueling demand after Red Sea shipping disruptions. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/04/singapore-fuel-oil-stockpiles-extend-slide-to-five-week-low/ Singapore's onshore fuel oil stockpiles extended declines to a five-week low, although inventory levels continued to average higher compared to last month. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/process-optimization/an-innovative-process-for-simultaneously-producing-high-purity-benzene-and-us-grade-gasoline-from-fcc-csub6sub-heartcut/ Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSAT) II regulations restrict the average benzene level in gasoline sold in the U.S. to 0.62 vol%. In India and in several other countries, benzene in gasoline is presently restricted to 1 vol%. Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline contributes to nearly 10%–20% of the gasoline pool in a typical refinery. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/03/vietnams-largest-refinery-to-boost-operating-capacity-by-15-20/ Vietnam's largest refinery Nghi Son said it will boost its operating capacity by 15% to 20% in order to ensure stable supplies.
