Petroleum refining: a look at the future
Here’s a view of long-range spending strategies, including new technologies and proper hydrogen management
Improved planning can optimize solutions to produce clean fuels
Refiners may consider using alliances with contractors to shorten design and construction time for environmentally driven projects
Project alliance delivers 'green' fuels
A cooperative effort between a refiner, gas supplier and utility / power company enabled construction of a highly integrated refinery upgrade ahead of schedule
What are the options to meet Tier II sulfur requirements?
To meet ultra-low sulfur specifications for diesel and gasoline, U.S. refiners will 'retool' existing facilities; feedstock changes, operational/processing adjustments and installing new post treatment technologies are some possible choices
Combine power options with clean fuels projects
A build-own-operate project structure involving refinery upgrade results in increased product yield and power production
Cat naphtha sulfur management: undercut or not?
Several processing options can create a high-sulfur heavy cat naphtha that concentrates FCC sulfur into one stream
Consider improved liquid alkylation catalysts
To process 'cleaner fuels,' refiners will seek octane gains from the blending pool; alkylate refinement is a possible solution
Process ultra-low sulfur diesel
New catalyst technology efficiently works at the molecular level to remove thiopenes
FCCU main fractionator revamp for CARB gasoline production
Here is one refiner's experience with a major project to produce clean gasoline
Trends in catalysis research to meet future refining needs
