Rethink Your Refinery – Boosting Sulfuric Acid Alkylation Performance
Alkylation processes are an important tool for refineries to create octane that is required to meet gasoline specifications. In recent years with Tier III regulations implementation, and the resulting destruction of octane in hydrotreating processes, the need for more octane has never been stronger. The United States has 50% of the global refinery alkylation unit capacity, with production hitting 1,300,000 bpd in 2020. There are several different licensors and technologies to make alkylate, each coming with its own challenges.
In this webinar we will focus on Sulfuric Acid Alkylation and the key area that customers seek out Alfa Laval for solution using our Compact Welded Plate heat exchanger technology. These include:
- Debottleneck / Increase Capacity
- Reduce sulphuric acid consumption
- Reduce use of utilities – Energy & Water
