Gasoline

Consider integrating refining and petrochemical operations

Converting low-value gas oil streams via hydrocracking yields high-value olefins feedstocks

Noncapital intensive technologies reduce FCC sulfur content – Part 2

Davison Catalysts: Lesemann, M.  |  Schult, C.

Using novel membrane technology, refiners have new solutions to treat gasoline for sulfur and olefins content

Refinery hydrogen management – the big picture

UOP N.V.: Huycke, R.
UOP LLC: Zagoria, A.

Hydrogen network operating decisions affect the bottom line every day, but most refineries do not apply the tools that could dramatically increase profitability

Protect desulfurization catalyst with prefiltration systems

Pall Corp.: Cathcart, N.  |  Lindstrom, T. H.
Pall Canada: Levesque, F.

Suspended solids in refinery feeds foul critical desulfurization catalysts and heat exchange equipment and rob refiners of potential profits

The ultimate 'clean' fuel – Gas-to-liquid products

Davy Process Techonology: Ashley, M.  |  Gamlin, T.

New reforming technology enables converting stranded natural gas into low-sulfur syngas

Consider onsite gas supply to meet processing needs

Linde AG: Heisel, M.
Linde AG, Gas and Engineering: Scholz, G.  |  Schweer, D.

By outsourcing industrial gas sources, refiners can focus resources – capital and manpower – on upgrading crude oil into higher-value products

Noncapital intensive technologies reduce FCC sulfur content – Part 1

Davison Catalysts: Lesemann, M.  |  Schult, C.

Innovative solutions such as catalysts and membranes can be used to navigate the 'roadmap' for clean fuels agenda

Trends in catalysis research to meet future refining needs Table 6

What does it take to meet the clean fuels challenge?

Refiners will use more tools other than technology to process clean fuels and be profitable

Consider improved catalyst technologies to remove sulfur

Advanced Refining Technologies, LP: Krenzke, L. D.  |  Shiflett, W. K.

With new catalyst systems, hydroprocessing efforts more efficiently reduce complex sulfur compounds and lower blended fuels’ sulfur content
